Hello,
Can you please tell me if it is possible to configure handsontable so that when inserting from the buffer into the handsontable, number with a space = “123 123”, so that handsontable understands that this is a number.
By default when inserting number with space, it perceives it as a string, but if you insert a number without a space, it perceives its number

Hi @dmitry.yudin95

you can use the beforeValidate hook to allow spaces in the numeric cell type. Here’s an example https://jsfiddle.net/pnsmqtzd/

Ok thank you
I want to clarify more
for example, numbers are copied from Excel, which can be in various formats, for example - 123,123,123.51 or 2 581,65.
is there any general mechanism in the hansontable that would understand different formats and understand the number or not? So as not to program this logic ourselves

Quoting our tutorial from https://handsontable.com/docs/8.1.0/demo-numeric.html

You can input float-typed values in the numeric editor only using a dot or a comma as a decimal separator. For example, both 500000.5 , 500000,5 will be accepted.

Anything more than that requires extra logic within the cell validator.
