Apply Themes for Consistent Spreadsheet Design

March 16, 2026
Enhance spreadsheet design with customizable themes that apply consistent colors and fonts instantly for clearer data presentation.

Spreadsheet themes provide a consistent visual style by applying coordinated colors, fonts, and formatting across an entire workbook. Instead of manually styling individual elements, users can quickly apply a theme to ensure tables, charts, and data ranges follow the same design. This improves readability, enhances data presentation, and helps maintain a professional and cohesive look across reports. Themes are particularly useful when creating business dashboards, financial reports, or shared team documents, where consistent formatting and clear visual hierarchy make data easier to interpret and align with company branding.

Several JavaScript spreadsheet controls offer support for applying themes including:

  • Kendo UI jQuery Spreadsheet (part of Kendo UI) by Telerik lets you apply consistent styling with customizable themes that unify fonts, colors, and formatting.
  • SpreadJS by MESCIUS allows you to implement reusable spreadsheet themes that standardize visual styles across worksheets, improving clarity and branding consistency.
  • Infragistics Ultimate UI for jQuery Spreadsheet (part of Infragistics Professional) facilitates spreadsheet styling with theme based formatting that aligns colors, fonts, and layouts.
  • Jspreadsheet Pro enables developers to style spreadsheets with configurable themes that create consistent visual structure and enhance readability across web based tables.

Enable Cross-Worksheet Spreadsheet Calculations

March 13, 2026
Reference cells from other sheets to build connected calculations that keep related data organized and dynamically linked.

Cross-worksheet calculations allow spreadsheet components to reference and compute values across multiple sheets within the same workbook. This capability enables developers to build more advanced data models, where formulas can pull information from different worksheets to support summaries, aggregations, and linked analysis. By allowing data to be organized across separate sheets while remaining connected through formulas, applications can present complex datasets in a structured and scalable way without sacrificing calculation accuracy or performance.

Several Angular spreadsheet controls offer support for cross-worksheet calculations including:

  • SpreadJS by MESCIUS enables formulas to reference cells and ranges across worksheets, allowing developers to create linked calculations across multiple sheets.
  • Infragistics Ignite UI for Angular Spreadsheet supports cross-sheet formulas that allow values from different worksheets to be combined in calculations.
  • Syncfusion Angular Spreadsheet includes built-in formula support that references cells in other worksheets, making it possible to perform calculations across different tabs.
  • Jspreadsheet Pro provides cross-sheet references within formulas, enabling calculations that draw values from other worksheets to support multi-sheet data organization.

Produce Clearer Excel Waterfall Charts

March 5, 2026
Pine BI Excel Add-In v2.1 improves waterfall formulas, enabling cleaner datasets, transparent calculations, and greater control over totals.

The Pine BI Excel Add-In facilitates the rapid generation of sophisticated and interactive Excel charts, enabling the transformation of standard workbooks into engaging dashboards that improve data visualization. These easily shareable visuals can also be integrated into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, improving the creation of impactful reports and presentations across various business applications.

The Pine BI Excel Add-In v2.1 update improves waterfall chart functionality by introducing rebuilt formulas that support a cleaner and more consistent data structure. Instead of relying on automatically calculated totals that required blank fields, developers can now explicitly define which values act as totals within the dataset. This approach simplifies data preparation, removes the need for automatic final totals, and makes chart calculations more transparent and predictable. As a result, developers can create and maintain waterfall visualizations more efficiently, particularly when working with complex financial or analytical models.

To see a full list of what's new in v2.1, see our release notes.

Pine BI Excel Add-In is licensed annually on a subscription basis with 1, 5, and 10 seat options, requiring renewal for continued use and covering each concurrent computer, with the ability to transfer individual seat activation's as needed.

Simplify Large Datasets with Spreadsheet Sorting

February 19, 2026
Enable efficient data organization and analysis with high-performance spreadsheet sorting that delivers precise, multi-level control.

Data sorting in a spreadsheet is the process of arranging data in a specific order such as alphabetically, numerically, or by date based on one or more columns. It enables users and developers to quickly organize large datasets, improve readability, and surface meaningful insights such as top performing products, recent transactions, or lowest inventory levels. By supporting multi level sorting, for example by region and then by revenue, spreadsheets maintain row integrity while delivering structured and analysis ready views of data. Common use cases include ranking sales performance, organizing customer lists, managing financial records, preparing reports, and enhancing interactive data grids within business applications.

Several .NET WinForms spreadsheet controls allow you to sort data, including:
