I would like to hook into the process that gets data from the excel import and process the json before it gets posted to the spreadsheet.  Is this possible?

Hi Doug,

I am afraid, that the Kendo Spreadsheet would not allow you to retrieve the Workbook data as a JSON in the process of importing an .xlsx file to the widget. What I would suggest you instead, is to review the following implementation, which shows how to retrieve the data from an .xlsx file as JSON using other libraries.

Thanks @Veselin for your response.  I think that will work.   Although I'm having trouble getting the spreadsheet to load fromJSON, after it has been bound to a datasource.  Here is an example.  It is simply the datasource binding demo + one line to load fromJSON after the databinding.  You'll see that "Some Value" does not appear on the spreadsheet.

Hello Doug,

Here you will find a modified version of the sample sent. You will notice, that after the initial load, it properly populates the Spreadsheet from the JavaScript object using fromJSON() method. Keep in mind, that after altering the Spreadsheet contents to the JSON data, the DataSource will no longer be available in the Spreadsheet.
