# Sheet Objects
Excel supports 4 different types of "sheets":
- "worksheets": normal sheets
- "chartsheets": full-tab charts
- "macrosheets": legacy (pre-VBA) macros
2022-08-25 08:22:28 +00:00
- "dialogsheets": legacy (pre-VBA) dialog windows
2022-05-16 03:26:04 +00:00
## Generic Sheet Object
Generic sheets are plain JavaScript objects. Each key that does not start with
`!` is an `A1`-style address whose corresponding value is a cell object.
2022-10-24 01:28:03 +00:00
### Cell Storage
By default, the parsers and utility functions generate "sparse-mode" worksheet
objects. `sheet[address]` returns the cell object for the specified address.
2022-10-24 16:49:28 +00:00
#### Dense Mode
2022-10-24 01:28:03 +00:00
When the option `dense: true` is passed, parsers will generate a "dense-mode"
worksheet where cells are stored in an array of arrays. `sheet["!data"][R][C]`
returns the cell object at row `R` and column `C` (zero-indexed values).
When processing small worksheets in older environments, sparse worksheets are
more efficient than dense worksheets. In newer browsers, when dealing with very
large worksheets, dense sheets use less memory and tend to be more efficient.

<summary><b>Migrating to Dense Mode</b> (click to show)</summary>
2022-10-24 16:49:28 +00:00
`read`, `readFile`, `write`, `writeFile`, and the various API functions support
sparse and dense worksheets. Functions that accept worksheet or workbook objects
(e.g. `writeFile` and `sheet_to_json`) will detect dense sheets.
2023-06-13 17:49:52 +00:00
The option `dense: true` should be used when creating worksheet or book objects.
**Update code that manually searches for cells** (adding dense mode support):
_Addressing Cells_
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="es3" label="Works everywhere">
2022-10-24 16:49:28 +00:00
```diff
2023-06-13 17:49:52 +00:00
-var cell = sheet["B7"];
+var cell = sheet["!data"] != null ? (sheet["!data"][6]||[])[1] : sheet["B3"];
```
2022-10-24 16:49:28 +00:00
2023-06-13 17:49:52 +00:00
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="es2020" label="New in 2020">
2022-10-24 16:49:28 +00:00
2023-06-13 17:49:52 +00:00
```diff
-var cell = sheet["B7"];
+var cell = sheet["!data"] != null ? sheet["!data"]?.[6]?.[1] : sheet["B3"];
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The row and column can be calculated using `XLSX.utils.decode_cell`:
```diff
var addr = "B7";
-var cell = sheet[addr];
+var _addr = XLSX.utils.decode_cell(addr);
+var cell = sheet["!data"] != null ? sheet["!data"]?.[_addr.r]?.[_addr.c] : sheet[addr];
2022-10-24 16:49:28 +00:00
```
2023-06-13 17:49:52 +00:00
`XLSX.utils.encode_cell` will be using the desired row and column indices:
```diff
-var cell = sheet[XLSX.utils.encode_cell({r:R, c:C})];
+var cell = sheet["!data"] != null ? sheet["!data"]?.[R]?.[C] : sheet[XLSX.utils.encode_cell({r:R, c:C})];
```
_Looping across a Worksheet_
2022-10-24 16:49:28 +00:00
Code that manually loops over worksheet objects should test for `"!data"` key:
```js
const { decode_range, encode_cell } = XLSX.utils;
function log_all_cells(ws) {
var range = decode_range(ws["!ref"]);
// highlight-next-line
var dense = ws["!data"] != null; // test if sheet is dense
for(var R = 0; R <= range.e.r; ++R) {
for(var C = 0; C <= range.e.c; ++C) {
// highlight-next-line
var cell = dense ? ws["!data"]?.[R]?.[C] : ws[encode_cell({r:R, c:C})];
console.log(R, C, cell);
}
}
}
```
2023-06-13 17:49:52 +00:00
**Update workbook and worksheet generation code**
_`read`_
```diff
-var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {...opts});
+var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {...opts, dense: true});
```
_`readFile`_
```diff
-var workbook = XLSX.readFile(data, {...opts});
+var workbook = XLSX.readFile(data, {...opts, dense: true});
```
_`aoa_to_sheet`_
```diff
-var sheet = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], {...opts});
+var sheet = XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], {...opts, dense: true});
```
_`json_to_sheet`_
```diff
-var sheet = XLSX.utils.json_to_sheet([{x:1,y:2}], {...opts});
+var sheet = XLSX.utils.json_to_sheet([{x:1,y:2}], {...opts, dense: true});
```

### Sheet Properties
Each key starts with `!`. The properties are accessible as `sheet[key]`.
- `sheet['!ref']`: A-1 based range representing the sheet range. Functions that
work with sheets should use this parameter to determine the range. Cells that
are assigned outside of the range are not processed. In particular, when
writing a sheet by hand, cells outside of the range are not included
Functions that handle sheets should test for the presence of `!ref` field.
If the `!ref` is omitted or is not a valid range, functions are free to treat
the sheet as empty or attempt to guess the range. The standard utilities that
ship with this library treat sheets as empty (for example, the CSV output is
empty string).
When reading a worksheet with the `sheetRows` property set, the ref parameter
will use the restricted range. The original range is set at `ws['!fullref']`
- `sheet['!margins']`: Object representing the page margins. The default values
follow Excel's "normal" preset. Excel also has a "wide" and a "narrow" preset
but they are stored as raw measurements. The main properties are listed below:
<details>
<summary><b>Page margin details</b> (click to show)</summary>
| key | description | "normal" | "wide" | "narrow" |
|----------|------------------------|:---------|:-------|:-------- |
| `left` | left margin (inches) | `0.7` | `1.0` | `0.25` |
| `right` | right margin (inches) | `0.7` | `1.0` | `0.25` |
| `top` | top margin (inches) | `0.75` | `1.0` | `0.75` |
| `bottom` | bottom margin (inches) | `0.75` | `1.0` | `0.75` |
| `header` | header margin (inches) | `0.3` | `0.5` | `0.3` |
| `footer` | footer margin (inches) | `0.3` | `0.5` | `0.3` |
```js
/* Set worksheet sheet to "normal" */
ws["!margins"]={left:0.7, right:0.7, top:0.75,bottom:0.75,header:0.3,footer:0.3}
/* Set worksheet sheet to "wide" */
ws["!margins"]={left:1.0, right:1.0, top:1.0, bottom:1.0, header:0.5,footer:0.5}
/* Set worksheet sheet to "narrow" */
ws["!margins"]={left:0.25,right:0.25,top:0.75,bottom:0.75,header:0.3,footer:0.3}
```
</details>
## Worksheet Object
In addition to the aforementioned sheet keys, worksheets also add:
2023-09-20 21:53:18 +00:00
- `ws['!cols']`: [array of column objects](/docs/csf/features/colprops).
Each column object encodes properties including level, width and visibility.
- `ws['!rows']`: [array of row objects](/docs/csf/features/rowprops).
Each row object encodes properties including level, height and visibility.
2022-05-16 03:26:04 +00:00
- `ws['!merges']`: array of range objects corresponding to the merged cells in
the worksheet. Plain text formats do not support merge cells. CSV export
will write all cells in the merge range if they exist, so be sure that only
the first cell (upper-left) in the range is set.
- `ws['!outline']`: configure how outlines should behave. Options default to
the default settings in Excel 2019:
| key | Excel feature | default |
|:----------|:----------------------------------------------|:--------|
2022-08-24 00:51:18 +00:00
| `above` | Disable "Summary rows below detail" | `false` |
| `left` | Disable "Summary rows to the right of detail" | `false` |
2022-05-16 03:26:04 +00:00
- `ws['!protect']`: object of write sheet protection properties. The `password`
key specifies the password for formats that support password-protected sheets
(XLSX/XLSB/XLS). The writer uses the XOR obfuscation method. The following
keys control the sheet protection -- set to `false` to enable a feature when
sheet is locked or set to `true` to disable a feature:
<details>
<summary><b>Worksheet Protection Details</b> (click to show)</summary>
| key | feature (true=disabled / false=enabled) | default |
|:----------------------|:----------------------------------------|:-----------|
| `selectLockedCells` | Select locked cells | enabled |
| `selectUnlockedCells` | Select unlocked cells | enabled |
| `formatCells` | Format cells | disabled |
| `formatColumns` | Format columns | disabled |
| `formatRows` | Format rows | disabled |
| `insertColumns` | Insert columns | disabled |
| `insertRows` | Insert rows | disabled |
| `insertHyperlinks` | Insert hyperlinks | disabled |
| `deleteColumns` | Delete columns | disabled |
| `deleteRows` | Delete rows | disabled |
| `sort` | Sort | disabled |
| `autoFilter` | Filter | disabled |
| `pivotTables` | Use PivotTable reports | disabled |
| `objects` | Edit objects | enabled |
| `scenarios` | Edit scenarios | enabled |
2022-10-04 20:37:38 +00:00
2022-05-16 03:26:04 +00:00
</details>
- `ws['!autofilter']`: AutoFilter object following the schema:
```typescript
type AutoFilter = {
ref:string; // A-1 based range representing the AutoFilter table range
}
```
## Other Sheet Types
### Chartsheet Object
Chartsheets are represented as standard sheets. They are distinguished with the
`!type` property set to `"chart"`.
The underlying data and `!ref` refer to the cached data in the chartsheet. The
first row of the chartsheet is the underlying header.
### Macrosheet Object
Macrosheets are represented as standard sheets. They are distinguished with the
`!type` property set to `"macro"`.
### Dialogsheet Object
Dialogsheets are represented as standard sheets. They are distinguished with the
`!type` property set to `"dialog"`.
