The Tiki spreadsheet feature was added to Tiki in 2004 (version 1.9) using Tiki specific PHP and JavaScript code. Starting in Tiki5, the Tiki spreadsheet front-end was upgraded to use jquery.sheet for a much nicer interface, and more features. It worked well for years, and eventually, jQuery.sheet was renamed to WickedGrid. However, WickedGrid has been inactive for years so we need to switch to one of the many impressive modern alternatives. If you would like to help with this, we are looking for financial sponsors and/or volunteer developers. And later, testers. Please contact Marc Laporte.

Spreadsheet


Tiki Spreadsheet performs calculations on user entered numeric data and presents the resulting data in tables and/or graphics within Tiki pages. The documentation describes the various available calculations performed by the Tikisheet.

Usage - text


Cell Navigation

  • Left Arrow - Active cell moves left if possible
  • Right Arrow - Active cell moves right if possible
  • Up Arrow - Active cell moves up if possible
  • Down Arrow - Active cell moves down if possible


Cell Highlighting With Arrow Keys

  • Left Arrow + Shift - Highlights left if possible
  • Right Arrow + Shift - Highlights right if possible
  • Up Arrow + Shift - Highlights up if possible
  • Down Arrow + Shift - Highlights down if possible


Editing

  • Escape - Active cell is removed from focus
  • Enter - Active cell is set and cell moves down if possible.
  • Shift + Enter - Adds a line break to the cell's value
  • Tab - Active cell is set and active cell moves right if possible
  • Ctrl + X - Cut
  • Ctrl + C - Copy
  • Ctrl + V - Paste


Undo & Redo

  • Ctrl + Z - Undo
  • Ctrl + Y - Redo



A formula is the reason why spreadsheets are so powerful. jQuery.sheet has a very powerful and secure formula engine that can be used in the following way:

  • Starting a cell's value with '=' activates the formula engine on the active cell(s) you are editing, for example (results in 100):
    Copy to clipboard
    =100
    • This would really be the same as setting the cell's value to '100'
  • Now lets start really using formulas (results in 0.03):
    Copy to clipboard
    =(100 + 200) /1000



jQuery.sheet v3 offers the option of creating and referencing variables (see jQuery.sheet setting formulaVariables)

  • Example of using simple variable in formula:
    Copy to clipboard
    =variable_name


Variables can also have attributes:

  • Example of using variable with attributes in formula:
    Copy to clipboard
    =variable_name.attribute
  • Example of using variable with math:
    Copy to clipboard
    =100 * variable_name



Functions are where much of the work is done within spreadsheets. Here is how to use them:

  • To use the SUM function, enter the following:
    Copy to clipboard
    =SUM()
  • To use SUM with a single cell:
    Copy to clipboard
    =SUM(A1)
  • To use SUM with a range of cells:
    Copy to clipboard
    =SUM(A1:B2)
  • Nested functions:
    Copy to clipboard
    =DOLLAR(SUM(A1:B2) + SUM(D1:E2))


Available Function (To be written)


Cells can be referenced in the following ways:

  • Single cell - example:
    Copy to clipboard
    A1
  • Range of cells - example:
    Copy to clipboard
    A1:B2
  • Single cell fixed - example:
    Copy to clipboard
    $A$1
  • Range of cells fixed - example:
    Copy to clipboard
    $A$1:$B$2
  • Other spreadsheet single cell - Example:
    Copy to clipboard
    SHEET2!A1
  • Other spreadsheet range of cells - Example:
    Copy to clipboard
    SHEET2!A1:B2
