Sheet names in Excel documents

Completed

We have customers who really want to see names of the sheets in document. Right now, there is no indication what sheet you are looking for. Ideally, we like to have option to put it to page header so every page will have this information.

Is there any way we can have it implemented? Or giving us event hook to implement desired functionality? This is pressing issue for our customers, as it's extremely difficult to review large Excels without knowing what sheet you are looking on

This is now possible with new version:

Version 4.9.0 - September 12, 2019

Added: RenderLeftHeader, RenderCenterHeader, RenderRightHeader, RenderLeftFooter, RenderCenterFooter and RenderRightFooterproperties to SpreadsheetInputOptions. Please refer to updated docs for special script and format codes that can be used forheader or footer strings. For example, "&A" prints the name of the workbook tab (worksheet name).

For viewer, you can use it like this:

documentViewer.InputOptions.Add(
  new SpreadsheetInputOptions
  {
    RenderLeftHeader = "Sheet name: &A"
  }
);

Or for converter like this:

var inputOptions = new SpreadsheetInputOptions
{
  RenderLeftHeader = "Sheet name: &A"
};

DocumentConverter.Convert(inputDocument, inputOptions, outputDocument);

The following special script and format codes can be included as a part of the header and footer properties:

Script code	Description
&D	Prints the current date.
&T	Prints the current time.
&F	Prints the name of the document.
&A	Prints the name of the workbook tab (worksheet name).
&P	Prints the page number.
&P+number	Prints the page number plus the specified number. E.g. &P+1
&P-number	Prints the page number minus the specified number.E.g. &P-1
&&	Prints a single ampersand.

&Z	Prints the file path.

it's causing the issues when Excel have it's own header already. Basically, 2 headers overlap each other
