I get an "Invalid or unexpected token" error in the console when attempting to bind a datasource with any column that starts with a number or contains some non-standard characters (e.g., 360_Comment or Interview_&_Notes). Is there a fix forthcoming or a workaround I can do in the code without writing every cell value out myself?

Hello Bryan,
Binding the DataSource with a column that starts with a number or contains some non-standard characters is not supported out of the box from the Kendo UI Spreadsheet.
I can suggest using the schema.parse property of the DataSource for parsing the server response with valid data names:
http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource#configuration-schema.parse
I hope this is helpful.

Doesn't the schema parse method (at least in the example) require looping through the response to rename all the keys in all the records? I've implemented it and it works, but it slows down the code considerably as opposed to filtering out those columns on the server side and binding the spreadsheet to the datasource directly.
