Excel.TableRowCollection class

Represents a collection of all the rows that are part of the table.

Note that unlike ranges or columns, which will adjust if new rows or columns are added before them, a TableRow object represents the physical location of the table row, but not the data. That is, if the data is sorted or if new rows are added, a table row will continue to point at the index for which it was created.

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.1 ]

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

count

Returns the number of rows in the table.

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

add(index, values, alwaysInsert)

Adds one or more rows to the table. The return object will be the top of the newly added row(s).

Note that unlike ranges or columns, which will adjust if new rows or columns are added before them, a TableRow object represents the physical location of the table row, but not the data. That is, if the data is sorted or if new rows are added, a table row will continue to point at the index for which it was created.

addAsJson(index, values, alwaysInsert)

Adds one or more rows to the table. The returned object will be the top row of the newly added row or rows. Unlike add(), addAsJson() takes any type of cell value, such as image or entity data types.

Note that unlike ranges or columns, which will adjust if new rows or columns are added before them, a TableRow object represents the physical location of the table row, but not the data. That is, if the data is sorted or if new rows are added, a table row will continue to point at the index for which it was created.

deleteRows(rows)

Delete multiple rows from a table. These rows don't need to be sequential. This method will throw the InvalidArgument error if a chosen row has already been deleted or doesn't exist. This method will throw the InsertDeleteConflict error if the table on which the method is called has a filter applied.

deleteRowsAt(index, count)

Delete a specified number of rows from a table, starting at a given index. This method will throw the InsertDeleteConflict error if the table on which the method is called has a filter applied.

getCount()

Gets the number of rows in the table.

getItemAt(index)

Gets a row based on its position in the collection.

Note that unlike ranges or columns, which will adjust if new rows or columns are added before them, a TableRow object represents the physical location of the table row, but not the data. That is, if the data is sorted or if new rows are added, a table row will continue to point at the index for which it was created.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.TableRowCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.TableRowCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.

Method Details

add(index, values, alwaysInsert)

Adds one or more rows to the table. The return object will be the top of the newly added row(s).

Note that unlike ranges or columns, which will adjust if new rows or columns are added before them, a TableRow object represents the physical location of the table row, but not the data. That is, if the data is sorted or if new rows are added, a table row will continue to point at the index for which it was created.

add(index?: number, values?: Array<Array<boolean | string | number>> | boolean | string | number, alwaysInsert?: boolean): Excel.TableRow;

Parameters

index

number

Optional. Specifies the relative position of the new row. If null or -1, the addition happens at the end. Any rows below the inserted row are shifted downwards. Zero-indexed.

values

Array<Array<boolean | string | number>> | boolean | string | number

Optional. A 2D array of unformatted values of the table row.

alwaysInsert

boolean

Optional. Specifies whether the new rows will be inserted into the table when new rows are added. If true, the new rows will be inserted into the table. If false, the new rows will be added below the table. Default is true.

Returns

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.1 for adding a single row; 1.4 allows adding of multiple rows; 1.15 for adding alwaysInsert parameter. ]

Examples

await Excel.run(async (context) => { 
    const tables = context.workbook.tables;
    const values = [["Sample", "Values", "For", "New", "Row"]];
    const row = tables.getItem("Table1").rows.add(null, values);
    row.load('index');
    await context.sync();
    
    console.log(row.index);
});

addAsJson(index, values, alwaysInsert)

Adds one or more rows to the table. The returned object will be the top row of the newly added row or rows. Unlike add(), addAsJson() takes any type of cell value, such as image or entity data types.

Note that unlike ranges or columns, which will adjust if new rows or columns are added before them, a TableRow object represents the physical location of the table row, but not the data. That is, if the data is sorted or if new rows are added, a table row will continue to point at the index for which it was created.

addAsJson(index?: number, values?: CellValue[][], alwaysInsert?: boolean): Excel.TableRow;

Parameters

index

number

Optional. Specifies the relative position of the new row. If null or -1, the addition happens at the end. Any rows below the inserted row are shifted downwards. Zero-indexed.

values

Excel.CellValue[][]

Optional. A 2D array of cell values of the table row.

alwaysInsert

boolean

Optional. Specifies whether the new rows will be inserted into the table when new rows are added. If true, the new rows will be inserted into the table. If false, the new rows will be added below the table. Default is true.

Returns

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.16 ]

deleteRows(rows)

Delete multiple rows from a table. These rows don't need to be sequential. This method will throw the InvalidArgument error if a chosen row has already been deleted or doesn't exist. This method will throw the InsertDeleteConflict error if the table on which the method is called has a filter applied.

deleteRows(rows: number[] | TableRow[]): void;

Parameters

rows

number[] | Excel.TableRow[]

An array of row index numbers or row objects to delete from the table.

Returns

void

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApiOnline 1.1 ]

deleteRowsAt(index, count)

Delete a specified number of rows from a table, starting at a given index. This method will throw the InsertDeleteConflict error if the table on which the method is called has a filter applied.

deleteRowsAt(index: number, count?: number): void;

Parameters

index

number

The index value of the row to be deleted. Note: Row indexes update each time that a preceding row in the table is deleted, after each delete operation. Ensure that the index of the row that you want to delete hasn't changed between the time that you determined the value and the time that you run the operation.

count

number

Number of rows to delete. By default, a single row will be deleted.

Returns

void

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApiOnline 1.1 ]

getCount()

Gets the number of rows in the table.

getCount(): OfficeExtension.ClientResult<number>;

Returns

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.4 ]

getItemAt(index)

Gets a row based on its position in the collection.

Note that unlike ranges or columns, which will adjust if new rows or columns are added before them, a TableRow object represents the physical location of the table row, but not the data. That is, if the data is sorted or if new rows are added, a table row will continue to point at the index for which it was created.

getItemAt(index: number): Excel.TableRow;

Parameters

index

number

Index value of the object to be retrieved. Zero-indexed.

Returns
