Apply MS Excel Advanced Filter to Display Records & Tile Picture as a Texture in Shape in Android

What’s new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for Android via Java 17.9.0. This release includes a number of new features, enhancements and several bug fixes that further improve the overall stability and usability of the API. Aspose.Cells supports image tiling feature which allows users to display images that are too large to be displayed entirely as a single unit on a typical computer. The feature allows users to display by segmenting it into smaller, more manageable image tiles. Sometimes, developers need to embed formula in Smart Markers. Aspose.Cells allows to make use of Formula parameter in Smart marker field. Microsoft Excel allows users to apply Advanced Filter on worksheet data to display records that meet complex criteria. Users can apply Advanced Filter with Microsoft Excel via its Data > Advanced command. Aspose.Cells also allows to apply the Advanced Filter using the Worksheet.advancedFilter() method. Aspose.Cells can import data to worksheet from ResultSet object which can be created from any database. However, the following article specifically creates ResultSet object from Microsoft Access Database. If users are using Microsoft Excel in Russian Locale or Language or any other Locale or Language, it will display Errors and Boolean values according to that Locale or Language. Users can achieve the similar behavior of Microsoft Excel using Aspose.Cells with the GlobalizationSettings class. Numbers is a spreadsheet application developed by Apple Inc. Aspose.Cells can read Numbers spreadsheet but it does not support writing to it. It can read Numbers spreadsheet’s Data, Style and Formulas. When saving to PDF or image, Aspose.Cells will first try to use Workbook’s default font. This behavior can be changed using DefaultFont attribute in PdfSaveOptions/ImageOrPrintOptions. Most of the time, paper size of the worksheet is automatic. When it is automatic, it is often set as Letter. Sometime user sets the paper size of the worksheet as per their requirements. In this case, the paper size is not automatic. Users can find if the worksheet paper size is automatic or not using a method. If the sheet is empty, then Aspose.Cells will not print anything when users export worksheet to image. When users save your Excel file to HTML, then Aspose.Cells reveal Downlevel Conditional Comments. These conditional comments are mostly relevant to old versions of Internet Explorer and are irrelevant to modern Web Browsers. Aspose.Cells provides a new method that users can use to add digital signature to an already signed Excel file. Aspose.Cells allows users to copy VBA project from one Excel file into another Excel file. VBA project consists of various types of modules i.e. Document, Procedural, Designer etc. All modules can be copied with simple code but for Designer module, there is some extra data called Designer Storage needs to be accessed or copied. When there are multiple shapes present in the same location then how will they be visible is decided by their z-order positions. Aspose.Cells provides Shape.toFrontOrBack() method which changes the z-order position of the shape. If users want to send shape to back users will use negative number like -1, -2, -3 etc. and if users want to send shape to front, users will use positive number like 1, 2, 3 etc. Users can sort data in the column using custom list. This can be done using a new method. However, this method works only if the items in custom list do not have commas inside them. If they have commas like “USA,US”, “China,CN” etc., then users must use DataSorter.addKey(int key, SortOrder order, String[] customList) method. Named Destinations are special kinds of bookmarks or links in PDF that do not depend on PDF pages. It means, if pages are added or deleted from PDF, bookmarks may become invalid but named destinations will remain intact. An Excel file may contain external resources e.g. linked images or objects. When users convert an Excel file to Pdf, Aspose.Cells retrieves these external resources and renders them to Pdf. But sometimes, users do not want to load these external resources and more than that, users want to manipulate them. This release includes plenty of improved features and bug fixes as listed below
