Workbook Object
For a given workbook object wb:
wb.SheetNames is an ordered list of the sheets in the workbook.
wb.Sheets is an object whose keys are worksheet names (from SheetNames) and
whose values are worksheet objects.
wb.Props is an object storing the standard properties. wb.Custprops stores
custom properties. Since the XLS standard properties deviate from the XLSX
standard, XLS parsing stores core properties in both places.
wb.Workbook stores workbook-level attributes.
When reading a file, wb.bookType is the determined book type.
File Properties
The various file formats use different internal names for file properties. The
workbook Props object normalizes the names:
File Properties (click to hide)
| JS Name | Excel Description |
|---|---|
Title |
Summary tab "Title" |
Subject |
Summary tab "Subject" |
Author |
Summary tab "Author" |
Manager |
Summary tab "Manager" |
Company |
Summary tab "Company" |
Category |
Summary tab "Category" |
Keywords |
Summary tab "Keywords" |
Comments |
Summary tab "Comments" |
LastAuthor |
Statistics tab "Last saved by" |
CreatedDate |
Statistics tab "Created" |
For example, to set the workbook title property:
if(!wb.Props) wb.Props = {};
wb.Props.Title = "Insert Title Here";
Custom properties are added in the workbook Custprops object:
if(!wb.Custprops) wb.Custprops = {};
wb.Custprops["Custom Property"] = "Custom Value";
Writers will process the Props key of the options object:
/* force the Author to be "SheetJS" */
XLSX.write(wb, {Props:{Author:"SheetJS"}});
Workbook-Level Attributes
wb.Workbook stores workbook-level attributes.
