Overview

If you have a sheet with thousands of rows of data, it can be extremely difficult to see patterns and trends just from examining the raw information. Similar to sparklines, conditional formatting provides another way to visualize data and make sheets easier to understand.

To add conditional formatting in SpreadJS, first use the conditionalFormats method to get the conditional format for the sheet. Then you can create a conditional rule and use the addRule method to add it. Also you can use the specified rule's add method, like addSpecificTextRule, addCellValueRule, and so on. For example: After you add rules to the sheet, you can use the getRule method to return the rule using the rule index or get all the conditional rules. For example: If you want to remove the conditional rule, use the removeRule, removeRuleByRange, or clearRule methods. For example:
var spreadNS = GC.Spread.Sheets; window.onload = function () { var spread = new GC.Spread.Sheets.Workbook(document.getElementById("ss"), { sheetCount: 2 }); initSpread(spread); }; function initSpread(spread) { var sheet = spread.getSheet(0); sheet.suspendPaint(); var cfs = sheet.conditionalFormats ; // sample title sheet.addSpan(1, 1, 1, 7); sheet.setValue(1, 1, "Conditional Format Samples"); sheet.getCell(1, 1).font("24px sans-serif"); sheet.getCell(1, 1).hAlign(spreadNS.HorizontalAlign.center); sheet.setRowHeight(1, 35); // cell value rule var r = 2; var c = 1; var w = 3; var h = 4; sheet.addSpan(r, c, 1, w); sheet.setValue(r, c, "Displays green background: value > 50:"); sheet.getCell(r, c).wordWrap(true); sheet.setRowHeight(r, 40); var increase = 0; for (var row = 0; row < h - 1; row++) { for (var col = 0; col < w; col++) { sheet.setValue(row + 3, col + 1, increase); increase += 10; } } sheet.getRange(r, c, h, w).setBorder(new spreadNS.LineBorder("Black", spreadNS.LineStyle.dashed), {all: true});
