Suggestion: Paste and exapand sheet if necessary

Open oscar6echo opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

From the first proto feedbacks I got from potential users, it would be good to be able to paste into a sheet and the sheet would adjust its size to accept the input data.

A user may want to paste a row or column - of undetermined size - from Excel.
So the widget would be provisionally small and expand 'just enough' if necessary to accommodate the new data.

Pasting is not 100% stable if you stress test the widget (I suspect it's more a browser issue).
So the paste could be active

  • only via a button (?)
  • only if a cell is focused
  • up to certain limit - say 100 row/cols (?)

Then ideally a scroll bar would appear to avoid that the sheet takes up too much screen space.

Food for thought

Good use case example.
