What is new in this release?

The long awaited version of Aspose.Cells for Java 8.4.2 has been released. Starting with this release, Aspose.Cells for Java has provided support for adding VBA modules to the spreadsheets. Aspose.Cells for Java 8.4.2 has exposed the VbaModuleCollection.add method to add a new VBA module to the instance of Workbook. The VbaModuleCollection.add method accepts a parameter of type Worksheet to add a worksheet specific module, whereas the existing VbaModule class contains all the module specific properties. Aspose.Cells for Java 8.4.2 has exposed simplified mechanism to create charts on the fly. Please note, the conventional means of creating charts involves several steps that may include, but not limited to specifying the series and category axis data ranges separately. With new mechanism, all you have to do is to specify the chart’s data range while using the Chart.setChartDataRange method. The setChartDataRange method accepts two parameters, where first parameter is of type String in order to specify the cell area from which to plot the data series. The second parameter is of type Boolean that specifies the plot orientation, that is; whether to plot the chart data series from a range of cell values by row or by columns.Aspose.Cells for Java 8.4.2 has fixed a number of issues and enhanced the core to accommodate many customer requests. Few worth mentioning enhancements & fixes includes, support for IFNA function, added an overloaded version of Cells.copyColumns method that can be used to repeat the source columns onto the destination while copy operation, exposed 2 new fields for the PasteType enumeration in order to mimic the Excel’s ‘All’ & ‘All except borders’ functionality for pasting range of cells, improved the PDF rendering engine to handle cases that involve WordArt, shapes and uppercase characters converted through Excel’s ‘All caps’ functionality, improved Chart2Image functionality for EMF file format to correctly render axis and data labels, addressed a few exceptions related to the spreadsheets loading & saving mechanism of Aspose.Cells for Java API. This release includes plenty of improved features and bug fixes as listed below
