Render Office Add-Ins in Excel to Pdf & Use Formula Similar to Excel VBA in Java Apps

What is new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Cells for Java 17.12.0 has been released. This release includes many new features and enhancements along with some critical bug fixes that further improve the overall stability of the APIs. It is also recommend to clients to use the powerful Aspose for Java APIs directly in their Maven Projects with simple configurations. Microsoft Excel formulas may have different names in different locales/regions or languages. For example, SUM function is called SUMME in German. Aspose.Cells cannot work with non-English function names. In Microsoft Excel VBA, there is Range.FormulaLocal property that returns the name of the function as per its language or region. Aspose.Cells also provides Cell.FormulaLocal property for this purpose. However, this property will only work when users will implement GlobalizationSettings.getLocalFunctionName(String standardName) method. Aspose.Cells now supports to render MS Office Add-ins (in Excel files) in the output PDF. You do not need to use any special method or property to render Office Add-Ins in the output PDF. Sometime, users want to auto populate smart marker data to other worksheets if it is too large. Suppose, users data source has 1500000 records. These are too many records for a single worksheet, then users can move the rest of the records to next worksheet. Users can change the shape type of data labels of the chart using the DataLabels.ShapeType property. It takes the value of DataLabelShapeType enumeration and changes the shape type of data labels accordingly. Aspose.Cells provides the feature to export worksheet CSS separately when users convert your Excel file to HTML file format. Please use HtmlSaveOptions.ExportWorksheetCSSSeparately property for this purpose and set it to true while saving Excel file to HTML format. Aspose.Cells allows users to prefix tableCELLSJAVA-42479. Below are some important new features, enhancement and bug fixes part of this release.
