Users can view all the formulas in the cells and easily copy and paste these formulas between cells in a spreadsheet. SpreadJS provides showFormulas property, which enables the user to see the formula in a cell. Once the formula is visible, it can be copied and pasted in any application.

Using Code

This example sets the options.showFormulas property.

// set showFormulas to true to enable users copy the formulas into other application
activeSheet.options.showFormulas = true;

Limitations

• The reference cells of the formula are not highlighted when formula cell is selected.
• The array formulas cannot be copied to Excel or SpreadJS correctly since the input array formula needs ctrl+shift+enter key combination.
