Cell Range in React Spreadsheet component

A group of cells in a sheet is known as cell range.

Wrap text

Wrap text allows you to display large content as multiple lines in a single cell. By default, the wrap text support is enabled. Use the allowWrap property to enable or disable the wrap text support in spreadsheet.

Wrap text can be applied or removed to a cell or range of cells in the following ways,

Using the wrap property in cell, you can enable or disable wrap text to a cell at initial load.
Select or deselect wrap button from ribbon toolbar to apply or remove the wrap text to the selected range.
Using the wrap method, you can apply or remove the wrap text once the component is loaded.

The following code example shows the wrap text functionality in spreadsheet.

Merge cells

Merge cells allows users to span two or more cells in the same row or column into a single cell. When cells with multiple values are merged, top-left most cell data will be the data for the merged cell. By default, the merge cells option is enabled. Use allowMerge property to enable or disable the merge cells option in spreadsheet.

You can merge the range of cells in the following ways,

Set the rowSpan and colSpan property in cell to merge the number of cells at initial load.
Select the range of cells and apply merge by selecting the desired option from ribbon toolbar.
Use merge method to merge the range of cells, once the component is loaded.

The available merge options in spreadsheet are,

Type	Action
Merge All	Combines all the cells in a range in to a single cell (default).
Merge Horizontally	Combines cells in a range as row-wise.
Merge Vertically	Combines cells in a range as column-wise.
UnMerge	Splits the merged cells into multiple cells.

The following code example shows the merge cells operation in spreadsheet.
