dhtmlxSpreadsheet is an open source Ajax spreadsheet widget written in JavaScript and PHP (also available as a plugin for WP, Joomla, etc.). It allows you to quickly add an Excel-like, editable data table on a web page.

If you need to display some data in a table view and would like to put it on the web for sharing or further editing, you might consider using online spreadsheet services. However, what if you want to keep data on your own server? With dhtmlxSpreadsheet, you can store the data on your side and show it in a web-based spreadsheet in edit or readonly mode.

dhtmlxSpreadsheet is based on the dhtmlxGrid JavaScript component and supports the most essential features for displaying and formatting tabular data. Offering the basic Excel-like functionality, it allows you to embed a simple spreadsheet anywhere on a web page and work with the tabular data in a familiar way.

Easy Initialization and Database Binding

Adding a spreadsheet on a page can't be easier. dhtmlxSpreadsheet comes with an installer that helps you configure database settings and create a necessary database structure.

When the database is configured, all you need is to add just one line of code, for example:

<script src="./dhtmlx/spreadsheet.php?sheet=price_report"></script>

This code generates dhtmlxSpreadsheet on a web page, and you get a nice-looking table view to organize your data. You can fill in and edit your spreadsheets online right in the browser. While you enjoy the desktop-like user experience, dhtmlxSpreadsheet saves all your changes to the server side and updates the database on the fly.

Basic Cell Formatting and Math Functions

With basic formatting capabilities of dhtmlxSpreadsheet, you can change text color, cell background, set text align, rename column headings, etc. Once resized, columns will preserve their state even if you leave the page and visit it later. You can also make your spreadsheets read-only for other users, if needed.

dhtmlxSpreadsheet supports a large set of functions allowing the user to perform different mathematical operations on cell contents. The server-side impementation ensures accurate and precise mathematical calculations, which can be applied to a cell or group of cells.

Export to PDF and Excel

dhtmlxSpreadsheet has built-in export to PDF and Excel feature, so you can quickly convert your spreadsheet into necessary format and print it. You can also use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V to copy and paste a cell or selected block of cells from dhtmlxSpreadsheet to the Excel document, and vice-versa.
