To display formula explanation when hovering over a specific cell that contains a formula ,the steps are
Set load options.
for example:
const option = {
...
//set showFormulaExplain to true
showFormulaExplain:true,
};
xs = x_spreadsheet('#gridjs-demo', option)
Set action URL for showFormulaExplain.
for example:
const formulaExplainUrl = "/GridJs2/FormulaExplain";
xs.setFormulaExplainUrl(formulaExplainUrl);
When the user moves the mouse over a cell that contains a formula, the action of display formula explanation will be triggered automatically by the spreadsheet application
Implement show formula explanation action API in Controller in serverside.
for example:
@PostMapping("/FormulaExplain")
public ResponseEntity<?> formulaExplain(
@RequestParam(name = "v", required = true) String formulaText,
@RequestParam(name = "locale", required = false) String locale) {
//here the formulaText is the formula in the cell ,etc "=SUM(B1:B10)"
//check if the formulaText is null or empty
if (formulaText == null || formulaText.isEmpty()) {
// Return a response indicating failure and an empty string for the corrected content
return ResponseEntity.ok(Map.of("success", false, "v", ""));
}
// Call the syntax correction logic, which could be a third-party library or custom code
// This is a placeholder method that should be replaced with actual logic
String correctedContent = getFormulaExplain(formulaText, locale);
// Return a response indicating success and the corrected content
return ResponseEntity.ok(Map.of("success", true, "v", correctedContent));
}
// Placeholder method for formula explanation
// This should be replaced with the actual implementation
private String getFormulaExplain(String formulaText, String locale) {
// Implement your logic to get the detail explanation for the formulaText
// For demonstration, simply returning the input text
return text;
