| Last changed in | 1.1 |
bindingObj.addRowsAsync(rows, [,options], callback);
Parameters
rows
Type: Array
An array of arrays that contains one or more rows of data to add to the table. Required.
options
Type: object
Specifies the following optional parameters.
_asyncContext_
Type: array, boolean, null, number, object, string, or undefined
A user-defined item of any type that is returned in the AsyncResult object without being altered. Optional.
callback
Type: object
A function that is invoked when the callback returns, whose only parameter is of type AsyncResult. Optional.
| Name | Type | Description | Support notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| rows | array | An array of arrays that contains one or more rows of data to add to the table. Required. | |
| options | object | Specifies any of the following optional parameters. | |
| asyncContext | array, boolean, null, number, object, string, or undefined | A user-defined item of any type that is returned in the AsyncResult object without being altered. | |
| callback | object | A function that is invoked when the callback returns, whose only parameter is of type AsyncResult. |
Callback Value
When the function you passed to the callback parameter executes, it receives an AsyncResult object that you can access from the callback function's only parameter.
In the callback function passed to the addRowsAsync method, you can use the properties of the AsyncResult object to return the following information.
| Property | Use to... |
|---|---|
| AsyncResult.value | Always returns undefined because there is no object or data to retrieve. |
| AsyncResult.status | Determine the success or failure of the operation. |
| AsyncResult.error | Access an Error object that provides error information if the operation failed. |
| AsyncResult.asyncContext | Access your user-defined object or value, if you passed one as the asyncContext parameter. |
Remarks
The success or failure of an addRowsAsync operation is atomic. That is, the entire add rows operation must succeed, or it will be completely rolled back (and the AsyncResult.status property returned to the callback will report failure):
-
Each row in the array you pass as the data argument must have the same number of columns as the table being updated. If not, the entire operation will fail.
-
Each row and cell in the array must successfully add that row and cell to the table in the newly added row(s). If any row or cell fails to be set for any reason, the entire operation will fail.
Additional remarks for Excel Online
The total number of cells in the value passed to the rows parameter can't exceed 20,000 in a single call to this method.
Example
function addRowsToTable() {
Office.context.document.bindings.getByIdAsync("myBinding", function (asyncResult) {
var binding = asyncResult.value;
binding.addRowsAsync([["6", "k"], ["7", "j"]]);
});
}
