Bug report

Excel file is corrupted when it is created with the kendo.ooxml.Workbook toDataURL method, using stringified sheet data:

let dataURL = new kendo.ooxml.Workbook(JSON.stringify(data)).toDataURL();

If the data is passed to the Workbook without stringifying it, this causes a circular reference error (check the console).

let dataURL = new kendo.ooxml.Workbook(data).toDataURL();

Reproduction of the problem

Dojo example.

1. Click the "To Json" button above the Spreadsheet.
2. Try to open the generated file in Excel.

Current behavior

The generated Excel file is corrupted

Expected/desired behavior

The generated Excel file is not corrupted

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2020.2.617
• jQuery version: x.y
• Browser: [all]

Currently, after export to excel and opening the exported file again in Spreadsheet, the row heights for rows with predefined height change. The above could be easily observed on the Index demo:

* initially, the height of the top row is set to 70px;

* export the Spreadsheet to Excel;

* after re-importing the above file, the height of the first row "Invoice #52" becomes 81px without any apparent reason.

Hi Team,

I'd like to request a way to manipulate a large amount of cell groups in the Kendo UI Spreadsheet without decreasing performance.  For example, I'd like to be able to merge/unmerge and change font size to multiple specific cell groups.  I understand changing multiple DOM elements at the same time can cause sluggishness, but maybe there's a way to reduce the time. Currently, it's taking a long time to completely load.  

Thank you for investigating.

Bug report

Values that are copied from Spreadsheet are duplicated when pasted in Excel if before that the copied cells have been cut and pasted inside the Spreadsheet.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Open this Dojo project
2. Cut B3:C3
3. Paste the copied content to A1:B1
4. Copy A1:B2
5. Paste to Excel

Current behavior

In Excel, the first row is duplicated and the pasted content contains 3 rows, while 2 rows are copied

Expected/desired behavior

The pasted in Excel content should contain 2 rows instead of 3

Environment

• Kendo UI version: 2020.3.1021
• jQuery version: x.y

Currently, the sheets in the Spreadsheet component can be reordered. It will be a very useful feature if we can configure the component in a way this reordering can be disabled.

Thus the users won't be able to move the sheets' tabs.

Hi Team,

I would like to request the Kendo UI Spreadsheet to be able to validate by Text Length instead of using custom validation.  This would help with importing xlsx files which have text length validation.

Thank you!

Hi Team,

I would like to request a way to include commas for the sheets.rows.cells.validation.from values.

For example:

• 1st
• 2nd
• Combine 1st, and 2nd

Instead of:

• 1st
• 2nd
• Combine 1st
• and 2nd

Additionally, it would be nice to be able to use another delimiter instead of commas. 

Thank you!

Hi,

When editing a workbook with the Spreadsheet component, if a user switches from a worksheet to another, then moves the scrollbars, when switching back, although the active cell is adequately recovered, the scrollbars are not (the user experience is that they do not react to worksheet switching).

Is this behavior planned to be changed? Is there a workaround?

Hi ,

we have a requirement to disable comment option on click of few cells (which are disabled) or to show a toastr message on click of comment that user can't add comment on specific cell. Do you have any such feature or event to track this requirement .

Other spreadsheet applications (Excel and Google Sheets, to name two) offer the ability to insert individual cells into a sheet without inserting a whole row/column. Most importantly, this feature updates cell references in formulas, which is not something that can be done with copy and paste.

For example, in the following spreadsheet (screenshot from Excel), I've right-clicked cell A2 and chosen "Insert" on the context menu. There is also a button on the ribbon that opens the same "Insert" dialog.

I want to shift the cells down, so I click OK in the dialog. Note that the formulas update accordingly: the sum range expands to A1:A5, while the individual cell references remap.

Can this feature please be added to Kendo spreadsheet? Otherwise, our clients will have to continue manually re-writing formulas after they copy/cut and paste to achieve a similiar-looking (but functionally different) result.

Thanks!

Can the Spreadsheet widget be updated to initialize a sheet that is bound to a datasource when the datasource is an empty object?  

Generally, when a sheet is bound to a datasource, it is for the purpose of editing data, creating new rows and updating/deleting existing rows.  If a datasource comes back empty, the sheet isn't initialized.  So there are no column headers, which can be confusing to users when they don't know what data to enter in which columns.  The other thing is that the sheet itself is not fully initialize so that even if we assign column headers programmatically, when users start entering data, the UI becomes unresponsive and generates a javascript error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined

Bug report

When a string, used as old_text for SUBSTITUTE(text, old_text, new_text, [instance_num]) function, is repeated more than once and the new_text is an empty string, one occurrence of the old_text remains not substituted.

Reproduction of the problem

1. Go to Spreadsheet Basic usage demo
2. Add a new sheet
3. Type ab113abababab11ab in A1
4. Enter the following formula in B1 =SUBSTITUTE(A1, "ab", "")

NOTE: substituting ab with another string, e.g. cd, replaces all instances of ab as expected.

Current behavior

113ab11 - when ab is repeated more than once in a row, one of its instances remains unchanged to an empty string

Expected/desired behavior

11311

Hi Support Team,

When select multiple cells continuously and right click, it will have more options. But when select multiple cells without continuously and right click, there is only 1 option

Would like to have a feature to have more options when select multiple cells without continuously and right click and also to able to detect which cells are selected if multiple cells are selected without continuously.

Select multiple cells continuously:                                   Select multiple cells without continuously:

By default the items in filter are in random order. Can we sort the items in ascending order by default.
