Example

The following code example shows how to add a button to the page and then adds code to the button onClick event that gets a specific range from the active sheet. The code then gets the values within the range and displays them in an alert message. The code example assumes that you are working with an Excel Web Access Web Part on SharePoint Server 2013.

<script type="text/javascript">
 
var ewa = null;
 
// Add event handler for onload event.
if (window.attachEvent) 
{ 
    window.attachEvent("onload", ewaOnPageLoad);    
} 
else 
{ 
    window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", ewaOnPageLoad, false); 
}

// Add event handler for applicationReady event.
function ewaOnPageLoad() 
{ 
Ewa.EwaControl.add_applicationReady(onApplicationReady); 
} 

function onApplicationReady()
{        
    // Get a reference to the Excel Services Web Part.
    ewa = Ewa.EwaControl.getInstances().getItem(0);                                       
}              

function getRangeFromSheetButton()
{    
    // Get range "B2:C5" from the active sheet.
    var range = ewa.getActiveWorkbook().getActiveSheet().getRange(1,1,4,2);
    
    // Get values from range.
    range.getValuesAsync(0,getRangeValues,range);

        var output = "Values from range" + range.getAddressA1() + "\n";
        output = output + "********\n";
        
        // Loop through the array of range values.
        for (var i = 0; i < values.length; i++)

        output = output + "********";

        // Display each value in the array returned by getValuesAsync.
        alert(output);

    }
