Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I trigger formula calculation after uploading a workbook?
A: Call the POST /cells/{name}/calculate endpoint (or use the SDK method Workbook.calculateAll). The API recalculates all formulas and returns the updated workbook.

Q: What is the best way to auto‑fit all columns in a worksheet?
A: Use the POST /cells/{name}/worksheets/{sheetName}/autofitcolumns endpoint (or the SDK method Worksheet.autoFitColumns). This adjusts column widths based on the longest cell content.

Q: How can I remove all shapes, charts, and images from a workbook?
A: Invoke the DELETE /cells/{name}/clearobjects endpoint (or the SDK method Workbook.clearObjects). It deletes all drawing objects while preserving cell data.
