What's new in Excel JavaScript API 1.16

  • 發行項

The ExcelApi 1.16 added the data types APIs. With the data types APIs, Excel cells can contain images from the web, formatted number values that retain their format throughout calculations, and most notably, entity cards. Entity cards extend the potential of Excel add-ins beyond a 2-dimensional grid. They display an icon within a cell that opens a card modal window in the Excel UI when selected. To learn more, see Use cards with entity value data types.

The following table provides a concise summary of the APIs, while the subsequent API list table gives a detailed list.

Feature area Description Relevant objects
Data types An extension of existing Excel data types, including support for formatted numbers and web images. ArrayCellValue, BooleanCellValue, CellValueAttributionAttributes, CellValueProviderAttributes, DoubleCellValue, EmptyCellValue, EntityCellValue, FormattedNumberCellValue, RootReferenceCellValue, StringCellValue, ValueTypeNotAvailableCellValue, WebImageCellValue
Data types errors Error objects that support expanded data types. BlockedErrorCellValue, BusyErrorCellValue, CalcErrorCellValue, ConnectErrorCellValue, Div0ErrorCellValue, FieldErrorCellValue, GettingDataErrorCellValue, NotAvailableErrorCellValue, NameErrorCellValue, NullErrorCellValue, NumErrorCellValue, PlaceholderErrorCellValue, RefErrorCellValue, SpillErrorCellValue, ValueErrorCellValue
