Web Spreadsheet Editor (Javascript, Angular, React, Vue, ASP.NET Core & MVC)

Features

Added horizontal scrolling via Shift + mouse wheel, enabling faster navigation across wide worksheets and large column sets.
#I755354 - Introduced an option to perform save operations without Web Workers to comply with strict Content Security Policies (CSP) and improve compatibility in secure environments. This behavior can be enabled dynamically on the client through the beforeSave event.

Blazor Spreadsheet Editor

Features

#I761802 - Provided support to retrieve data from a single cell or a range of cells using the GetData method. The returned value is a dictionary where each key is the cell address (for example, “A1”) and each value is a structured object containing the cell’s content, format, display text, wrap/lock states, hyperlink (if available), and computed style.

Code Example:

  <button id="GetSpreadsheetData" @onclick="GetSpreadsheetData">Get Spreadsheet Data</button>

  <SfSpreadsheet @ref="SpreadsheetReference" DataSource="DataSourceBytes">
      <SpreadsheetRibbon></SpreadsheetRibbon>
  </SfSpreadsheet>

  @code {
      public SfSpreadsheet SpreadsheetReference { get; set; }
    
      public void GetSpreadsheetData()
      {
          var data = SpreadsheetReference.GetData("A1");
          // Use or display the returned dictionary of cell data as needed.
      }
  }

#I745104 - Provided support for batch updates across multiple cells using a list of CellUpdateItem entries (each representing a cell address and value). Apply updates by calling UpdateCellsAsync. Values can be strings, numbers, or formulas.

Code Example:

  <button id="UpdateBatchCellsValue" @onclick="UpdateCellValues">Update Batch Cells Value</button>

  <SfSpreadsheet @ref="SpreadsheetReference" DataSource="DataSourceBytes">
      <SpreadsheetRibbon></SpreadsheetRibbon>
  </SfSpreadsheet>

  @code {
      public SfSpreadsheet SpreadsheetReference { get; set; }
    
      public async Task UpdateCellValues()
      {
          var updates = new List<CellUpdateItem>
          {
              new CellUpdateItem { CellAddress = "Sheet1!A1", Value = "Header" },
              new CellUpdateItem { CellAddress = "Sheet1!B1", Value = "Value" },
              new CellUpdateItem { CellAddress = "Sheet1!A2", Value = 100 },
              new CellUpdateItem { CellAddress = "Sheet1!B2", Value = 200 },
              new CellUpdateItem { CellAddress = "Sheet1!C1", Value = "Total" },
              new CellUpdateItem { CellAddress = "Sheet1!C2", Value = "=SUM(A2:B2)" },
              // Apply "Batch Fill" to cells A1 through A10
              new CellUpdateItem { CellAddress = "Sheet1!A1:A10", Value = "Batch Fill" }
          };

          await SpreadsheetReference.UpdateCellsAsync(updates);
      }
  }

#I761802 - Provided support to retrieve detailed properties of the active worksheet via the GetActiveWorksheet method, including its name, index, row and column counts, active cell address, and selected range.

Code Example:

  <button id="GetActiveSheet" @onclick="GetActiveSheet">Get Active Sheet</button>

  <SfSpreadsheet @ref="SpreadsheetReference" DataSource="DataSourceBytes">
      <SpreadsheetRibbon></SpreadsheetRibbon>
  </SfSpreadsheet>

  @code {
      public SfSpreadsheet SpreadsheetReference { get; set; }

      public void GetActiveSheet()
      {
          var active = SpreadsheetReference.GetActiveWorksheet();
          if (active != null)
          {
              Console.WriteLine($"{active.Name} [{active.Index}] - Selected: {active.SelectedRange}");
          }
      }
  }
