## Description
You may escape formulas using `escape_formulas` on the global, workbook, worksheet, row and/or cell level.
This is used to prevent [Formula Injection](https://www.owasp.org/index.php/CSV_Injection) vulnerabilities.
The following are possible:
| Scope | Example | Notes |
|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Global | `Axlsx.escape_formulas = true` | Affects worksheets created *after* setting. Does not affect existing worksheets. |
| Workbook | `workbook.escape_formulas = true` | Affects child worksheets added *after* setting. Does not affect existing child worksheets. |
| Worksheet | `workbook.add_worksheet(name: 'Name', escape_formulas: true)` | |
| Worksheet | `worksheet.escape_formulas = true` | Affects child rows/cells added *after* setting. Does not affect existing child rows/cells. |
| Row | `worksheet.add_row(['=FOO()', '=BAR()], escape_formulas: [true, false])` | Can specify as either Boolean (all cells) or Array (one value per cell). |
| Row | `row.escape_formulas = [true, false]` | Changes the `escape_formulas` value on existing cells. Can use either Boolean or Array. |
| Cell | `cell.escape_formulas = true` | |
## Code
```ruby
require 'axlsx'
Axlsx.escape_formulas = true
p = Axlsx::Package.new
wb = p.workbook
wb.escape_formulas #=> true (initial value will be Axlsx.escape_formulas)
wb.add_worksheet(name: 'Escaping Formulas') do |sheet|
sheet.add_row [1, 2, 3, '=SUM(A2:C2)'], escape_formulas: true
sheet.add_row [
'=IF(2+2=4,4,5)',
'=IF(13+13=4,4,5)',
'=IF(99+99=4,4,5)'
], escape_formulas: [true, false, true]
sheet.rows.first.cells.first.escape_formulas = false
end
p.serialize 'escape_formula_example.xlsx'
```
