What's new in Excel JavaScript API 1.4

  • Artykuł

The following are the new additions to the Excel JavaScript APIs in requirement set 1.4.

Named item add and new properties

New properties:

  • comment
  • scope - Worksheet or workbook scoped items.
  • worksheet - Returns the worksheet on which the named item is scoped to.

New methods:

  • add(name: string, reference: Range or string, comment: string) - Adds a new name to the collection of the given scope.
  • addFormulaLocal(name: string, formula: string, comment: string) - Adds a new name to the collection of the given scope using the user's locale for the formula.

Settings API in the Excel namespace

The Setting object represents a key:value pair for a setting persisted to the document. The functionality of Excel.Setting is equivalent to Office.Settings, but uses the batched API syntax, rather than the Common API's callback model.

APIs include getItem() to get setting entry via the key and add() to add the specified key:value setting pair to the workbook.

Others

  • Set the table column name.
  • Add a table column to the end of the table.
  • Add multiple rows to a table at a time.
  • range.getColumnsAfter(count: number) and range.getColumnsBefore(count: number) to get a certain number of columns to the right/left of the current Range object.
  • The *OrNullObject methods and properties: This functionality allows getting an object using a key. If the object does not exist, the returned object's isNullObject property will be true. This allows developers to check if an object exists without having to handle it through exception handling. An *OrNullObject method is available on most collection objects.
worksheet.getItemOrNullObject("itemName")
