Calculate Complex Formulas with Greater Precision

October 28, 2024
ONLYOFFICE Docs v8.2 adds iterative calculation for circular references and other sophisticated formulas that would otherwise produce errors.

ONLYOFFICE Docs is a comprehensive online editor, allowing users to create text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and forms. It enables your users to edit, share, and collaborate on documents online in their preferred browser, within your own application. It is fully compatible with OOXML (Office Open XML) formats and supports popular Microsoft Office and other document formats such as CSV, DOC, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDF, PPT, PPTX, RTF, TXT, XLS, and XLSX.

The ONLYOFFICE Docs v8.2 update adds support for performing iterative calculations. This enables formulas to be repeatedly recalculated until a specific, stable result is reached or a set number of attempts is made. By setting iteration limits and defining acceptable precision levels, iterative calculations enable users to control the number of recalculations, allowing the formula to reach an approximation or convergence point that serves as the final value. This process is particularly useful when dealing with circular references, where a formula refers to its own cell either directly or through a sequence of references involving other cells. Without iterative calculations, such formulas would produce errors, as they would require an infinite loop of recalculations. This is widely used in scenarios requiring complex dependencies, such as financial projections, engineering simulations, and scientific modeling.

ONLYOFFICE Docs is licensed by the number of simultaneous document connections and is available as an annual license with 1 year support and upgrades. See our ONLYOFFICE Docs licensing page for full details.

Enable Fast User Selection For Efficient Data Entry

October 24, 2024
Achieve faster, more flexible data input with a searchable Angular ComboBox that combines predefined choices with custom entries.

ComboBoxes for Angular are versatile form controls that allow users to select from a predefined list of options or input custom values directly. They provide a flexible and efficient way to handle data entry by combining the ease of selection with the ability to manually input text. For developers, ComboBoxes streamline the user experience by reducing the need for additional input fields while maintaining a clean interface. They enhance data validation and user efficiency, as they can filter large datasets based on user input and bind seamlessly to Angular models, ensuring smooth integration within dynamic forms and grid-based editors.

  • DevExtreme Complete Data Editors (part of DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress) lets you implement customizable ComboBoxes for efficient data selection and input within forms.
  • Kendo UI for Angular Data Editors (part of Kendo UI by Telerik) allows you to integrate flexible ComboBoxes with advanced filtering and input validation into Angular apps.
  • Wijmo Input and Editors (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) facilitates the creation of ComboBoxes that support data-binding and user-friendly input, enhancing form efficiency.
  • jQWidgets Data Editors (part of jQWidgets) enables you to integrate responsive, feature-rich ComboBoxes that support complex data editing and smooth form interaction.
