UnaXL v20261009 (Release)
· 2 min read
✨ UnaXL Software Release
This release adds grid options to hide empty grids and build headerless grids, extends row-based formatting, introduces privacy-conscious diagnostics for troubleshooting, and fixes several issues with filter suggestions, cell binding, subtotals, and grid resizing.
New Features & Enhancements 🚀
Grids
- Hide Grids With No Data — New "Hide Empty Rows" (per grid) and "Hide Empty Grids" (whole workbook) options let a grid's rows disappear when there's no data to show, and reappear automatically once data comes back.
- Build Grids Without Headers or Data — New configuration options let you create a grid without Row Headers, Column Headers, or the Data area — individually or all at once — for cases where you don't need the full standard layout.
- Format Based on First Row Cell — Grids can now copy formatting across a row (fill, font, borders), not just down a column. A single Format Based On setting lets you choose Off, First Column Cell, or First Row Cell.
Diagnostics & Privacy
- Optional Stability Diagnostics — UnaXL can now collect privacy-conscious diagnostic information (with your explicit consent) to help us investigate intermittent issues like data loading inconsistently. Sensitive data such as workbook contents, input values, and credentials are never captured, and you can review or change your consent anytime in Privacy Settings.
Fixes & Improvements 🛠
- Variable Suggestions Now Appear When Adding Members — Fixed two cases where the Add Member popup (in both the grid editor and the filter editor) showed no suggestions for Global and Parameter variables, requiring you to type them in by hand. Suggestions now populate correctly in both places.
- Pick Cell No Longer Fails on the First Row — Fixed an issue where binding a filter to a cell in the worksheet's first row showed a "Failed to update the filter cell binding" error and left a duplicate copy of the filter behind on every attempt.
- Subtotals Now Stay Safe During Filter Changes and Grouping — Improved how subtotals behave when filters refresh or when rows are grouped in Excel: changing a filter no longer overwrites unsent edits in other grids, and existing row groupings are no longer broken unexpectedly.
- Resized Grids Keep Consistent Formatting and Totals — Fixed an issue where new rows or columns added when a grid grows didn't match the grid's existing formatting, and totals or other formulas next to the grid didn't automatically extend to cover the new rows.
