Spreadsheets Example

The example demonstrates how to combine TableView and HeaderView to create a spreadsheet application.

Overview

The spreadsheets example demonstrates how to combine TableView and HeaderView to create a spreadsheet application. It serves as an excellent starting point for developers looking to understand the implementation of spreadsheet-like functionality in their applications, highlighting the versatility of TableView and HeaderView while providing practical insights into handling user interactions and data operations in a grid-based interface.

This example implements a comprehensive set of functionalities, providing users with a robust set of tools for data manipulation and structural organization. These functionalities include:

• Cell Manipulation
• Data Management
• Formula Support

Cell Manipulation

This feature set focuses on how users can interact with and modify the structure of the spreadsheet. Key capabilities in this area include:

• Select individual cells, entire rows, or columns
• Insert and remove rows and columns
• Show or hide specific rows and columns

Data Management

These features demonstrate advanced data handling capabilities, allowing users to efficiently manipulate cell contents. The following operations are supported:

• Copy, cut, and paste groups of cells
• Drag and drop cell contents
• Reorder rows and columns

Formula Support

This section highlights the spreadsheet's ability to perform calculations, enabling users to create dynamic, interconnected data. The supported operations include:

• Perform basic arithmetic operations
• Calculate sum of a range of cells

Perform basic arithmetic operations

This subsection covers the fundamental mathematical operations that can be performed within cells. Users can leverage the following capabilities:

• Single cell assignment
• Addition and subtraction
• Multiplication and division

Calculate sum of a range of cells

The summation feature allows users to quickly total a series of values. Users can employ a formula syntax similar to common spreadsheet applications. For example, to sum the values in cells A1 through B4, one might use a formula like "=SUM A1:B4"
