    Hello.

    I have 130k+ cells in my spreadsheet and if I load all those cells with validation my grid takes a lot longer to load. (Something around 8-12 seconds), so I decided to not use validation. 

     

    Is there any other way to only allow float numbers in my cells? I'm down to use an 'on-change' trick or something like that.

     

     

    Thank you

    Hi Joao,

    Using the change event of the Spreadsheet may not be the most appropriate option for the described scenario, as it does not allow prevention of the changes made. Nevertheless, I could suggest you to use the select event instead and if it is needed, apply the validation run-time on the selected cell (range):
    $("#spreadsheet").kendoSpreadsheet({
      select: function(e) {
          // Check here if validation should be applied
        if (true) {
          e.range.validation({
            dataType: "number",
            comparerType: "between",
            from: 0,
            to: 1000,
            allowNulls: true,
            type: "reject",
            messageTemplate: "The value should be a number."
          });
        }
      }
    });
