Spreadsheet enhancements

We’ve added another way to copy and paste: you can now grab the fill handle and drag it over the range that you want to copy to. It will fill based on the active cell and will automatically insert formulas with relative references. It just makes it a bit easier to work with the spreadsheet.

We’ve also enabled the option to export your spreadsheet so you can take it out of Squirrel and do what you want with it.

 

Zoom zoom

No more scrolling around to see your canvas at design time — Simply zoom in or out using the zoom level dropdown. It’s soooo much better!

 

Grid overlay

To help you line things up, you can now switch on (and configure) a grid overlay. It’s visible in Design mode to really help you get the pixel-perfect layout you’re after.

 

Charts and the new Schedule Viz component

We’re always looking to give you more control over your components: this month we’ve added more functionality to charts, including sorting options on Column and Bar. We’ve also fixed some bugs along the way.

Looking for a way to display data with start and end dates or times? The new Schedule component is just the job! It’s a Gantt ‘style’ chart allowing you to plot date and time ranges against categories or tasks. It’s a useful component that could, for example, help you visualise task/project management or resource allocation.

 

Export to Excel and PDF

Simply add the relevant component and select one or more ranges in your spreadsheet to allow users to export the data as a .xlsx or generate a PDF at the click of a button.

 

We fixed a bunch more bugs and made further improvements.
