Formatting options make your data easier to view and understand. The different types of formatting options in the Spreadsheet are,
- Number Formatting
- Text Formatting
- Cell Formatting
Number Formatting
Number formatting provides a type for your data in the Spreadsheet. Use the allowNumberFormatting
property to enable or disable the number formatting option in the Spreadsheet. The different types of number formatting supported in Spreadsheet are,
Types | Format Code | Format ID |
---|---|---|
General(default) | NA | 0 |
Number | 0.00 |

Number formatting can be applied in following ways,
- Using the
format
property incell
, you can set the desired format to each cell at initial load. - Using the
numberFormat
method, you can set the number format to a cell or range of cells. - Selecting the number format option from ribbon toolbar.
Custom Number Formatting
Spreadsheet supports custom number formats to display your data as numbers, dates, times, percentages, and currency values. If the pre-defined number formats do not meet your needs, you can set your own custom formats using custom number formats dialog or numberFormat
method.
The different types of custom number format populated in the custom number format dialog are,
Type | Format Code | Format ID |

Custom Number formatting can be applied in following ways,
- Using the
numberFormat
method, you can set your own custom number format to a cell or range of cells. - Selecting the custom number format option from custom number formats dialog or type your own format in dialog input and then click apply button. It will apply the custom format for selected cells.
The following code example shows the number formatting in cell data.

Configure culture-based custom format
Previously, the custom format dialog always displayed formats using the English settings (group separator, decimal separator, and currency symbol were not updated based on the applied culture). Starting from version 27.1.*
, the custom format dialog will now display formats according to the applied culture. You can select a culture-based number format from the dialog or enter your own format using the culture-specific decimal separator, group separator, and currency symbol. Then, click “Apply” to apply the culture-specific custom format to the selected cells.
The spreadsheet allows customization of formats in the custom format dialog using the configureLocalizedFormat
method. In this method, you need to pass a collection containing the default number format IDs and their corresponding format codes as arguments. Based on this collection, the custom format dialog will display the customized formats. You can refer to the default number format IDs from the Excel built-in number format reference.
Compared to Excel, the date, time, currency, and accounting formats vary across different cultures. For example, when an Excel file with the date format 'm/d/yyyy'
is imported in the en-US
culture, the spreadsheet displays the date in that format. However, when the same file is imported in the German culture, the date format changes to 'dd.MM.yyyy'
, which is the default for that region. The default number format ID for the date is 14. To customize the date format based on the culture, you should map the default number format ID to the appropriate culture-specific format code, like this: { id: 14, code: 'dd.MM.yyyy' }
in the configureLocalizedFormat
method.
The format code should use the default decimal separator (.) and group separator (,).
The code below illustrates how culture-based format codes are mapped to their corresponding number format ID for the German (de)
culture.
import { configureLocalizedFormat } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-spreadsheet';
const deLocaleFormats: FormatOption[] = [
{ id: 14, code: 'dd.MM.yyyy' },
{ id: 15, code: 'dd. MMM yy' },
{ id: 16, code: 'dd. MMM' },
{ id: 17, code: 'MMM yy' },
{ id: 20, code: 'hh:mm' },
{ id: 21, code: 'hh:mm:ss' },
{ id: 22, code: 'dd.MM.yyyy hh:mm' },
{ id: 37, code: '#,##0;-#,##0' },
{ id: 38, code: '#,##0;[Red]-#,##0' },
{ id: 39, code: '#,##0.00;-#,##0.00' },
{ id: 40, code: '#,##0.00;[Red]-#,##0.00' },
{ id: 5, code: '#,##0 "€";-#,##0 "€"' },
{ id: 6, code: '#,##0 "€";[Red]-#,##0 "€"' },
{ id: 7, code: '#,##0.00 "€";-#,##0.00 "€"' },
{ id: 8, code: '#,##0.00 "€";[Red]-#,##0.00 "€"' },
{ id: 41, code: '_-* #,##0_-;-* #,##0_-;_-* "-"_-;_-@_-' },
{ id: 42, code: '_-* #,##0 "€"_-;-* #,##0 "€"_-;_-* "-" "€"_-;_-@_-' },

{ id: 44, code: '_-* #,##0.00 "€"_-;-* #,##0.00 "€"_-;_-* "-"?? "€"_-;_-@_-' }
];
// Mapping culture-based number formats for the "de" culture: The "this.spreadsheetObj" parameter is an instance of the spreadsheet component, and the "deLocaleFormats" parameter is an array containing format codes and their corresponding format IDs for the "de" culture.
configureLocalizedFormat(this.spreadsheetObj, deLocaleFormats);
The following code example demonstrates how to configure culture-based formats for different cultures in the spreadsheet.

Text and cell formatting
Text and cell formatting enhances the look and feel of your cell. It helps to highlight a particular cell or range of cells from a whole workbook. You can apply formats like font size, font family, font color, text alignment, border etc. to a cell or range of cells. Use the allowCellFormatting
property to enable or disable the text and cell formatting option in Spreadsheet. You can set the formats in following ways,
- Using the
style
property, you can set formats to each cell at initial load. - Using the
cellFormat
method, you can set formats to a cell or range of cells. - You can also apply by clicking the desired format option from the ribbon toolbar.
Fonts
Various font formats supported in the spreadsheet are font-family, font-size, bold, italic, strike-through, underline and font color.
Text Alignment
You can align text in a cell either vertically or horizontally using the textAlign
and verticalAlign
property.
Indents
To enhance the appearance of text in a cell, you can change the indentation of a cell content using textIndent
property.
Fill color
To highlight cell or range of cells from whole workbook you can apply background color for a cell using backgroundColor
property.
Borders
You can add borders around a cell or range of cells to define a section of worksheet or a table. The different types of border options available in the spreadsheet are,
Types | Actions |
---|---|
Top Border | Specifies the top border of a cell or range of cells. |
Left Border | Specifies the left border of a cell or range of cells. |
Right Border | Specifies the right border of a cell or range of cells. |
Bottom Border | Specifies the bottom border of a cell or range of cells. |
No Border | Used to clear the border from a cell or range of cells. |
All Border | Specifies all border of a cell or range of cells. |
Horizontal Border | Specifies the top and bottom border of a cell or range of cells. |
Vertical Border | Specifies the left and right border of a cell or range of cells. |
Outside Border | Specifies the outside border of a range of cells. |
Inside Border | Specifies the inside border of a range of cells. |
You can also change the color, size, and style of the border. The size and style supported in the spreadsheet are,
Types | Actions |
---|---|
Thin | Specifies the 1px border size (default). |
Medium | Specifies the 2px border size. |
Thick | Specifies the 3px border size. |
Solid | Used to create the solid border (default). |
Dashed | Used to create the dashed border. |
Dotted | Used to create the dotted border. |
Double | Used to create the double border. |
Borders can be applied in the following ways,
- Using the
border
,borderLeft
,borderRight
,borderBottom
properties, you can set the desired border to each cell at initial load. - Using the
setBorder
method, you can set various border options to a cell or range of cells. - Selecting the border options from ribbon toolbar.

Limitations of Formatting
The following features are not supported in Formatting:
- Insert row/column between the formatting applied cells.
- Formatting support for row/column.
Conditional Formatting
Conditional formatting helps you to format a cell or range of cells based on the conditions applied. You can enable or disable conditional formats by using the allowConditionalFormat
property.
- The default value for the
allowConditionalFormat
property istrue
.
Apply Conditional Formatting
You can apply conditional formatting by using one of the following ways,
- Select the conditional formatting icon in the Ribbon toolbar under the Home Tab.
- Using the
conditionalFormat()
method to define the condition. - Using the
conditionalFormats
in sheets model.
Conditional formatting has the following types in the spreadsheet,
Highlight cells rules
Highlight cells rules option in the conditional formatting enables you to highlight cells with a preset color depending on the cell’s value.
The following options can be given for the highlight cells rules as type,
- ‘GreaterThan’, ‘LessThan’, ‘Between’, ‘EqualTo’, ‘ContainsText’, ‘DateOccur’, ‘Duplicate’, ‘Unique’.
The following preset colors can be used for formatting styles,
"RedFT"
- Light Red Fill with Dark Red Text,"YellowFT"
- Yellow Fill with Dark Yellow Text,"GreenFT"
- Green Fill with Dark Green Text,"RedF"
- Red Fill,"RedT"
- Red Text.
Top bottom rules
Top bottom rules option in the conditional formatting allows you to apply formatting to the cells that satisfy a statistical condition with other cells in the range.
The following options can be given for the top bottom rules as type,
- ‘Top10Items’, ‘Bottom10Items’, ‘Top10Percentage’, ‘Bottom10Percentage’, ‘BelowAverage’, ‘AboveAverage’.
Data Bars
You can apply data bars to represent the data graphically inside a cell. The longest bar represents the highest value and the shorter bars represent the smaller values.
The following options can be given for the data bars as type,
- ‘BlueDataBar’, ‘GreenDataBar’, ‘RedDataBar’, ‘OrangeDataBar’, ‘LightBlueDataBar’, ‘PurpleDataBar’.
Color Scales
Using color scales, you can format your cells with two or three colors, where different color shades represent the different cell values. In the Green-Yellow-Red(GYR) Color Scale, the cell that holds the minimum value is colored as red. The cell that holds the median is colored as yellow, and the cell that holds the maximum value is colored as green. All other cells are colored proportionally.
The following options can be given for the color scales as type,
- ‘GYRColorScale’, ‘RYGColorScale’, ‘GWRColorScale’, ‘RWGColorScale’, ‘BWRColorScale’, ‘RWBColorScale’, ‘WRColorScale’, ‘RWColorScale’, ‘GWColorScale’, ‘WGColorScale’, ‘GYColorScale’, ‘YGColorScale’.
Icon Sets
Icon sets will help you to visually represent your data with icons. Every icon represents a range of values. In the Three Arrows(colored) icon, the green arrow icon represents the values greater than 67%, the yellow arrow icon represents the values between 33% to 67%, and the red arrow icon represents the values less than 33%.
The following options can be given for the icon sets as type,
- ‘ThreeArrows’, ‘ThreeArrowsGray’, ‘FourArrowsGray’, ‘FourArrows’, ‘FiveArrowsGray’, ‘FiveArrows’, ‘ThreeTrafficLights1’, ‘ThreeTrafficLights2’, ‘ThreeSigns’, ‘FourTrafficLights’, ‘FourRedToBlack’, ‘ThreeSymbols’, ‘ThreeSymbols2’, ‘ThreeFlags’, ‘FourRating’, ‘FiveQuarters’, ‘FiveRating’, ‘ThreeTriangles’, ‘ThreeStars’, ‘FiveBoxes’.
Custom Format
Using the custom format for conditional formatting you can set cell styles like color, background color, font style, font weight, and underline.
In the MAY and JUN columns, we have applied conditional formatting custom format.
- In the Conditional format, custom format supported for Highlight cell rules and Top bottom rules.
Clear Rules
You can clear the defined rules by using one of the following ways,
- Using the “Clear Rules” option in the Conditional Formatting button of HOME Tab in the ribbon to clear the rule from selected cells.
- Using the
clearConditionalFormat()
method to clear the defined rules.
