Spreadsheet Like Functionality In WebApp

Question

I have a webapp for commercial property management that needs spreadsheet like functionality. We need the spreadsheet like functionality for doing budgets. I don't want to use Google spreadsheet because my users won't necessarily have a Google account.

So is there anything out there that I could use? I looked and could only find SocialCalc which wasn't quite good enough for me.

Options:

ExtJS Grid Component (Open Source[GPL3] & Commercial License)

Infragistics Grid Component (Commercial License)

TreeGrid (Commercial License, Free Version has maximum of 33 rows)

Answer 1

If you don't mind implementing the logic yourself, the ExtJS grid component is a JavaScript grid component with lots of powerful features, and it is available in both open-source and commercial versions.

Answer 2

I have used dhtmlXGrid successfully. There is an open source version that you can use freely to get your application developed. Assuming everything works out, for $200 you can purchase a license for it and distribute it with your application.

Very easy to use; create an HTML table structure with your data in it and then bind dhtmlXGrid to the table - it automatically turns the table cells into editable fields.

Check it out here: http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid

Again, you will need to implement the spreadsheet logic yourself but dhtmlXGrid makes it straightforward to translate that into an editable column/row display.

Answer 3

There is an excellent grid from Farpoint

They have web and win forms grids available and are not too bad price wise

Answer 4

Infragistics has spreadsheet-type functionality in their data grid product

Answer 5

You may want to give a try to treegrid @ www.coqsoft.com .

Answer 6

try telerik radgrid. It is a pretty decent .net user control which can easily render an XML datasource for user editting. Its also fully Ajax enabled to avoid delays when entering volumes of data.
