TypeScript objects and Excel tables

[Worf]

Worf submitted a new Excel article:

TypeScript objects and Excel tables - This article shows how to manipulate tables with TypeScript.

Certain Excel 365 licenses offer Office scripts, which is an implementation of the TypeScript language to automate Excel, just like VBA does.

I am planning a small series of articles focusing on relevant TS features and their application to the Excel object model; this first one will deal with TS objects and Excel tables.

On the TS side, here are some of the topics covered:

• Two different objects are defined, with the final table type being a union type of those two.

@Worf - this is the first instance I've found that creates a slicer in TypeScript. I'm very new to TypeScript (like many I expect!) and I wonder if you could help me understand how/why the slicer created is column 2 from the table (created, with values; 95, Jones, last).

ok - don't worry, I've found the relevant part of the script and understand now. I do have a follow up though. I am also trying to add a slicer, however, it is for a Power Pivot rather than a flat table. The TypeScript recorder doesn't record the action so I can't obtain code that way and I haven't yet found anything on the web to help. I suspect Power Pivot isn't (yet) compatible with TypeScript, but I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere either.

Do you know if it is possible to access/manipulate a Power Pivot model using TypeScript?

Hi

Unfortunately my company disabled Excel scripts for me so I currently cannot test anything.
