      type: 'date',

    rowHeaders: true,
    height: 'auto',
    licenseKey: 'non-commercial-and-evaluation',
    allowRemoveRow: true,
    outsideClickDeselects: false,
  };

what can be done here to avoid such things @adrian.szymanski
thanks in advance

Hi @talhach891

I tried to reproduce your issue locally and on jsfiddle but I wasn’t able to get any errors with the settings that you provided. Can you please tell me if are there any other operations that you do?

@adrian.szymanski this is stackblitz link pelase follow that and i am attaching a file for data please copy the data from from file and paste in date column it throws some error

please use data from this file

you can see the error here in this image

@aleksandra_budnik can you please look it too

Hi @talhach891

Please update to Handsontable v11 and check if the issue persists. I have reported this issue here https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/8894 and our developers already fixed it (it was a regression in v10).

hi @aleksandra_budnik thanks for quick reply as mentioned earlier on 11.0.0 or 11.0.1 i am getting following error in my case i don’t have data user paste their content on page

Hi @talhach891

the issue is gone when I update the dependencies https://jsfiddle.net/4qL3tkrh/

@aleksandra_budnik i think you are using angular 8 and i am using angular 11 and later on we will move it to 12 can you please check this stackblitz with angular 11 its not compiling and throws same error

Thank you for sharing. My colleague’s testing the code and we will update the thread later today,

Hi @talhach891

I tested your case locally (using Angular 11 and HOT 11.0.1) and indeed there was an error. However there seems to be some internal problem with stackblitz dependencies and that’s why it’s not compiling there.

The error you get was caused by missing registerAllModules import in app.module file. When I tested your code locally and added that import everything worked as it should.

import { registerAllModules } from 'handsontable/registry';

// register Handsontable's modules
registerAllModules();

You can read more about it here https://handsontable.com/docs/angular-modules/#step-1-import-the-handsontable-base-module and here https://handsontable.com/docs/migration-from-10.0-to-11.0/#step-1-react-angular-vue-register-your-modules

Let me know if that helps with your issue.

@adrian.szymanski thanks it worked i have another issue with culture where i am trying to set de-DE culture but its not affecting the data. i have setting as given below

  hotSettings: Handsontable.GridSettings = {
  width: '100%',
  manualRowResize: true,
  manualColumnResize: true,
  allowRemoveColumn: false,
  allowInsertRow: true,
  startRows: 5,
  rowHeaders: true,
  height: 'auto',
  language: 'de-DE',
  licenseKey: 'non-commercial-and-evaluation',
  allowRemoveRow: true,
  outsideClickDeselects: false,
  stretchH: 'all', // 'none' is default
  contextMenu: true,
  data: this.getCarData(),
  columns: [{
      data: 'price_eur',
      type: 'numeric',
      numericFormat: {
          pattern: '0,0.00 $',
          culture: 'de-DE' // use this for EUR (German),
          // more cultures available on http://numbrojs.com/languages.html
      }
  }]

};

is there anything that i am missing ?

Hi @talhach891

I created an example with your settings and it works fine: https://jsfiddle.net/bqkea21x/1/

However I cannot see how your data structure looks like, maybe there’s something in there that interfere with the settings.
