Cut and Paste Range with JavaScript via C++

Cut and Paste Cells

Aspose.Cells for JavaScript via C++ provides you with the ability to cut and paste cells within a worksheet by using the InsertCutCells method of the Cells collection. The InsertCutCells accepts the following parameters.

  • Range: The range of cells to be cut.
  • Row Index: The index of the row to insert cells.
  • Column Index: The index of the column to insert cells.
  • ShiftType: The shift direction of the columns.

The following example shows how to cut and paste cells within a worksheet.

Sample Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Cut and Paste Cells Example</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Cut and Paste Cells Example</h1>
        <input type="file" id="fileInput" accept=".xls,.xlsx,.csv" />
        <button id="runExample">Run Example</button>
        <a id="downloadLink" style="display: none;">Download Result</a>
        <div id="result"></div>
    </body>
