Free Header Area

The free header area in a TableSheet is a popular and powerful tool for table data aggregation. You can use static words to describe your table information, and present or analyze column data or data in other sheets with formulas and sparklines.

Apply Free Header Area TableSheet provides the applyFreeHeaderArea method to configure the free header area for the column header. Generate Free Header Area JSON If you want to refer to formulas with sheet names (like "TableSheet1![ColumnName]", "OtherSheet!A1" or "AVERAGE(TableSheet1[ColumnName])") when you generate the free header area JSON, you should enable this sheet option: This is the sample code: Formula Text Box in Header Area Support You can double click cells in the header area to start editing, or press the "=" key to enter formula editing. Then you can select TableSheet columns or any range in the free header area.
