Appizy V12 - Performance and Polish

Appizy V12 is here with performance improvements, new formula support, and better styling options for your web applications. Here is a quick overview of the main features. We’d love to hear your feedback!

Spreadsheet Overflow Styling

We’ve improved how content overflow is handled in cells. When cell content exceeds the available width, it now displays properly with configurable overflow behavior. This gives you more control over how text-heavy cells appear in your web applications.

Smarter Empty Cell Handling

Empty cells are now handled more intelligently with custom functions. Previously, empty cells in certain formulas could lead to unexpected results. V12 introduces better handling of emptiness, ensuring your calculations behave consistently whether cells contain values, zeros, or are truly empty.

Configurable Cell Padding

You now have more control over cell padding in your converted applications. This styling option allows you to adjust the spacing within cells to match your design requirements, whether you need compact data tables or more spacious layouts.

New Functions support: ROW and COLUMN

V12 adds support for the ROW() and COLUMN() functions. These functions return the row or column number of a cell reference, which is useful for creating dynamic formulas that adapt based on their position in the spreadsheet.

=ROW()      // Returns the row number of the current cell
=ROW(A5)    // Returns 5
=COLUMN()   // Returns the column number of the current cell
=COLUMN(C1) // Returns 3

These functions are particularly helpful when building lookup tables or creating formulas that need to be aware of their position within a data range.

V12 and Custom Styling Compatibility

V12 introduces new styling in Appizy, which might break some layouts or conflict with your custom CSS. To help with the transition, we’ve added the option to use the previous stable rendering while still benefiting from the new conversion engine. This means you get faster and smarter conversions, with only the styles kept compatible with V11. You can find this setting in the “Style” tab of the conversion interface.
