Extra columns and rows after import in JavaScript

Background:

To have extra columns or rows in your SpreadJS instances after importing an xlsx file, we must use the setColumnCount and setRowCount methods after the file is imported using fromJson method.

Steps to Complete:

1. Create a new function called addColRow

2. Set the addColRow function after the fromJson method

Getting Started:

Create a new function called addColRow:

To set the column and row count, use the setColumnCount and setRowCount method.

Below is setting the row and column count to both be 20.

 function addColRow(sheet){
        var sheet = spread.getActiveSheet();
        sheet.setColumnCount(20, GC.Spread.Sheets.SheetArea.viewport);    
        sheet.setRowCount(20, GC.Spread.Sheets.SheetArea.viewport);       
    }

Set the addColRow function after the fromJson method:

 // here is excel IO API
        excelIo.open(excelFile, function (json) {
            var workbookObj = json;
            spread.fromJSON(workbookObj);
            addColRow();
        }, function (e) {
            // process error
            alert(e.errorMessage);
            if (e.errorCode === 2/*noPassword*/ || e.errorCode === 3 /*invalidPassword*/) {
                document.getElementById('password').onselect = null;
            }
        }, {password: password});
