Rows and columns in EJ2 TypeScript Spreadsheet control

25 Aug 202324 minutes to read

Spreadsheet is a tabular format consisting of rows and columns. The intersection point of rows and columns are called as cells. The list of operations that you can perform in rows and columns are,

Insert
Delete
Show and Hide

Insert

You can insert rows or columns anywhere in a spreadsheet. Use the allowInsert property to enable or disable the insert option in Spreadsheet.

Row

The rows can be inserted in the following ways,

Using insertRow method, you can insert the rows once the component is loaded.
Using context menu, insert the empty rows in the desired position.

The following code example shows the options for inserting rows in the spreadsheet.

index.ts
index.html
import { Spreadsheet, SheetModel, ColumnModel, RowModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-spreadsheet';
import { data } from './datasource.ts';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

let columns: ColumnModel[] = [
    { width: 20 }, { width: 90 }, { width: 220 }, { width: 90 }, { width: 140 }, { width: 90 }, { width: 100 }, { width: 100 }
];

let sheets: SheetModel[] = [{ ranges: [{ dataSource: data, startCell: 'B1' }], columns: columns }];

// Rows model that is going to insert dynamically
let rowsModel: RowModel[] = [{
    index: 9, // Need to specify the index for the first row collection, the specified rows will be inserted in this index.
    cells: [{ value: '' }, { value: '8' }, { value: 'Northwoods Cranberry Sauce' }, { value: '3' }, { value: '12 - 12 oz jars' },
        { value: '40.00' }, { value: '6' }, { value: 'false' }]
},
{
    cells: [{ value: '' }, { value: '9' }, { value: 'Mishi Kobe Niku' }, { value: '4' }, { value: '18 - 500 g pkgs.' }, { value: '97.00' }, { value: '29' }, { value: 'true' }]
}];

let spreadsheet: Spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet({
    sheets: sheets,
    created: (): void => {
        // Applies style formatting before inserting the rows
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ fontWeight: 'bold', textAlign: 'center' }, 'B1:H1');
        // inserting a empty row at 0th index
        spreadsheet.insertRow();
        // inserting 2 rows at the 9th index with data
        spreadsheet.insertRow(rowsModel);
        // Applies style formatting after the rows are inserted
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'B3:B12');
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'D3:D12');
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'F3:H12');
    },
    // Removed the unwanted support for this samples
    showRibbon: false, showFormulaBar: false, showSheetTabs: false
});

spreadsheet.appendTo('#spreadsheet');

enableRipple(true);

let columns: ColumnModel[] = [{ width: 90 }, { width: 220 }, { width: 90 }, { width: 140 }, { width: 100 }, { width: 100 }];

let sheets: SheetModel[] = [{ ranges: [{ dataSource: data, startCell: 'A2' }], columns: columns }];

// Cells model that you are going to update in the inserted 5th column dynamically
let cellsModel: CellModel[] = [{ value: 'Unit Price', style: { fontWeight: 'bold', textAlign: 'center' } }, { value: '18.00' },
    { value: '19.00' }, { value: '10.00' }, { value: '22.00' }, { value: '21.35' }, { value: '25.00' }, { value: '30.00' },

        // Applies style formatting before inserting the column
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ fontWeight: 'bold', textAlign: 'center' }, 'A2:G2');
        // inserting a empty column at 0th index
        spreadsheet.insertColumn();
        // inserting 1 column at the 5th index with column model
        spreadsheet.insertColumn([{ index: 5, width: 90 }]);
        let rowIndex: number = 1;
        // Updating the 5th column data
        cellsModel.forEach((cell: CellModel): void => {
            spreadsheet.updateCell(cell, getCellAddress(rowIndex, 5)); rowIndex++;
        });
        // Applies style formatting after the columns are inserted
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'B3:B12');
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'D3:D12');
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'F3:H12');

Delete

Delete support provides an option for deleting the rows and columns in the spreadsheet. Use allowDelete property to enable or disable the delete option in Spreadsheet.

The rows and columns can be deleted dynamically in the following ways,

Using delete method, you can delete the loaded rows and columns.
Using context menu, you can delete the selected rows and columns.

The following code example shows the delete operation of rows and columns in the spreadsheet.

index.ts
index.html
import { Spreadsheet, SheetModel, ColumnModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-spreadsheet';
import { data } from './datasource.ts';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

let columns: ColumnModel[] = [{ width: 90 }, { width: 220 }, { width: 90 }, { width: 140 }, { width: 90 }, { width: 100 }, { width: 100 }];

let sheets: SheetModel[] = [{  name: 'Sheet1', ranges: [{ dataSource: data }], columns: columns }, { name: 'Sheet2', ranges: [{ dataSource: data }], columns: columns }];

let spreadsheet: Spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet({
    sheets: sheets,
    allowDelete: true, // to enable or disable the delete option in Spreadsheet
    created: (): void => {
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ fontWeight: 'bold', textAlign: 'center' }, 'A1:H1');
        // deleting the rows from 8th to 10th index. To delete row, the third argument of enum type is passed as 'Row', the last argument specifies the sheet name or index in which the delete operation will perform. By default,active sheet will be considered. It is applicable only for model type Row and Column.
        spreadsheet.delete(8, 10, 'Row', 0); // startIndex, endIndex, Row, sheet index
        // deleting the 2nd and 5th indexed columns
        spreadsheet.delete(2, 2, 'Column', 'Sheet2');
        spreadsheet.delete(5, 5, 'Column');
        spreadsheet.delete(0, 0, "Sheet"); // delete the first sheet. sheet index starts from 0
        // Applies style formatting after deleted the rows and columns
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'A2:A8');
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'D2:G8');
    },
    // Removed the unwanted support for this samples
    showRibbon: false, showFormulaBar: false
});

spreadsheet.appendTo('#spreadsheet');

let spreadsheet: Spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet({
    sheets: sheets,
    created: (): void => {
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ fontWeight: 'bold', textAlign: 'center' }, 'A1:H1');
        // Unhide the 2nd index hidden column
        spreadsheet.hideColumn(1, 1, false);
        // Unhide the 3rd index hidden row
        spreadsheet.hideRow(3, 3, false);
        // Hiding the 6th index column
        spreadsheet.hideColumn(6);
        // Hiding the 8th and 9th index row
        spreadsheet.hideRow(8, 9);
        spreadsheet.cellFormat({ textAlign: 'center' }, 'D2:H11');

Size

You can change the size of rows and columns in the spreadsheet by using setRowsHeight and setColumnsWidth methods.

Row

You can change the height of single or multiple rows by using the setRowsHeight method.

You can provide the following type of ranges to the method:

Single row range: ['2:2']
Multiple rows range: ['1:100']
Multiple rows with discontinuous range: ['1:10', '15:25', '30:40']
Multiple rows with different sheets: [Sheet1!1:50, 'Sheet2!1:50', 'Sheet3!1:50']

The following code example shows how to change the height for single/multiple rows in the spreadsheet.

index.ts
index.html
import { Spreadsheet, SheetModel, ColumnModel, RowModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-spreadsheet';
import { data } from './datasource.ts';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

let sheets: SheetModel[] = [{ ranges: [{ dataSource: data }] }];

let spreadsheet: Spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet({
    sheets: sheets,
    created: (): void => {
        // To change height for single row
        spreadsheet.setRowsHeight(40, ['2']);
        // To change height for multiple rows
        spreadsheet.setRowsHeight(40, ['4:8', '10:12']);
    },
});

spreadsheet.appendTo('#spreadsheet');

Column

You can change the width of single or multiple columns by using the setColumnsWidth method.

You can provide the following type of ranges to the method:

Single column range: ['F:F']
Multiple columns range: ['A:F']
Multiple columns with discontinuous range: ['A:C', 'G:I', 'K:M']
Multiple columns with different sheets: [Sheet1!A:H, 'Sheet2!A:H', 'Sheet3!A:H']

The following code example shows how to change the width for single/multiple columns in the spreadsheet.

index.ts
index.html
import { Spreadsheet, SheetModel, ColumnModel, RowModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-spreadsheet';
import { data } from './datasource.ts';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

let sheets: SheetModel[] = [{ ranges: [{ dataSource: data }] }];

let spreadsheet: Spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet({
    sheets: sheets,
    created: (): void => {
        // To change width of single column
        spreadsheet.setColumnsWidth(100, ['F']);
        // To change width of multiple columns
        spreadsheet.setColumnsWidth(120, ['A:C', 'G:I', 'K:M']);
    },
});

spreadsheet.appendTo('#spreadsheet');

Changing text in column headers

Using the beforeCellRender event, you can change the text in the column headers. In that event, you can use the e-header-cell class to identify the header cell element and update its text value.

The following code example shows how to change the text in the column headers.

index.ts
index.html
import { Spreadsheet, CellRenderEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-spreadsheet';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);

let spreadsheet: Spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet({
  beforeCellRender: (args: CellRenderEventArgs) => {
    if (
      args.colIndex >= 0 &&
      args.colIndex <= 10 &&
      args.element.classList.contains('e-header-cell')
    ) {
      let text: string = 'custom header ' + args.colIndex.toString();
      args.element.innerText = text;
    }
  }
});

spreadsheet.appendTo('#spreadsheet');
