Angular Spreadsheet Context Menu

The Spreadsheet context menu provides extensive capabilities identical to what Microsoft Excel has to offer. For example, you can copy and paste content from the clipboard directly into cells, or you can fine-tune the visibility of rows and columns.

The available options in the context menu vary depending on your current selection.

The following example demonstrates the Spreadsheet context menu in action. Right-click a cell, a column header, or row header to see the available options.
