Title: Creating Dynamic Columns while using the importXl method
Post by: pbassey on October 28, 2022, 12:30:14 am

Does your grid control support the loading of data from and excel file (using the importXL method) as well as calculated columns in-between the columns/rows loaded as a result of the importXL data load?

I want to load all the data from an .xlsx file, but also insert new columns inside the loaded grid that has formulas such as "MID(N3,6,19)”.

Is this possible ??

Yes

New columns can be added or inserted with grid.Columns() API

Excel functions can be added with grid.Range().value() API

Code: [Select]

        grid.Columns().add([{dataIndx:'type', title:'Type', width: 150}]);

        var values = (new Array(5).fill(0)).map(function(val, indx){
        return '=MID(A' + (indx+2) + ',16)';
        });
       
        grid.Range('B2:B6').value(values);
