6 Jan 20253 minutes to read

You can change the active sheet of imported file by updating activeSheetIndex property on the openComplete event.

The following code example shows how to set the active sheet when importing an Excel file.

import { Spreadsheet } from '@syncfusion/ej2-spreadsheet';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);

let spreadsheet: Spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet({
    openUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/spreadsheet/open',
    saveUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/spreadsheet/save',
    openComplete: function() {
        if (spreadsheet) {
        spreadsheet.activeSheetIndex = 2;
        }
    }
});

spreadsheet.appendTo('#spreadsheet');
