Find all cells that match the criteria

Call this API to search all cells that contain the target text within a specified worksheet of a DingTalk Spreadsheet, and return the position list of matching cells. This is suitable for scenarios where specific content needs to be located in bulk within large datasets. It supports multiple search modes, including exact match, case sensitivity, regular expressions, and search within formulas.

Request

Basic information

Field	Value
HTTP URL	`https://api.dingtalk.io/v1.0/doc/workbooks/{workbookId}/sheets/{sheetId}/findAll`
HTTP Method	POST
Supported app types	appType-Internal app
Permission required	permission-Document.Workbook.Read-DingTalk Spreadsheet read permission

Request headers

Name	Type	Required	Description
x-acs-dingtalk-access-token	String	Yes	The access credential for calling this API. Call the Get the access token of an internal app API to obtain it.

Path parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
workbookId	String	Yes	The spreadsheet file ID. The `nodeId(dentryUuid)` returned by the Knowledge Base API is the spreadsheet `workbookId`. You can obtain it by calling the Get node and Create a Knowledge Base document APIs.
sheetId	String	Yes	The worksheet ID or title. Call the Get all worksheets API to obtain the ID and title of the worksheet.

Query parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
operatorId	String	Yes	The unionId of the operator. Call the Query user details API to obtain it. If the operator has no permission, the API returns the error `The operator has no permission`.
select	String	No	Filters the fields to be returned. If this parameter is not specified, all fields are returned. - If select=a1Notation, only the a1Notation field is returned. - To return multiple fields, separate them with commas. For example, select=a1Notation,values returns only the a1Notation and values fields. Specifying this parameter is recommended to improve performance and avoid API timeouts when additional return values are added in the future.

Request body

Name	Type	Required	Description
text	String	Yes	The text to find. If useRegExp is enabled, this is a regular expression pattern. Example: “\d+“
findOptions	Object	Yes	The find options.
matchEntireCell	Boolean	No	Whether to match the entire cell. Valid values: - true: Yes - false: No (default)
matchCase	Boolean	No	Whether the search is case sensitive. Valid values: - true: Yes - false: No (default)
useRegExp	Boolean	No	Whether text is a regular expression. Valid values: - true: Yes - false: No (default)
matchFormulaText	Boolean	No	Whether to search by the raw formula text. Valid values: - true: Yes - false: No (default) For example, if a cell is populated with the formula “=A1+B1” and the displayed value is 4: - When the search text is “4” and matchFormulaText is true, the cell is not included in the results. - When the search text is “=A1” and matchFormulaText is true, the cell is included in the results.
scope	String	No	The search scope. The format is a Range address expressed in A1 notation.
includeHidden	Boolean	No	Whether to include hidden cells, that is, cells made invisible by hidden rows or columns, filters, groups, or similar features. Cells that the user does not have permission to view are not included. Valid values: - true: Yes - false: No (default)
unionCells	Boolean	Yes	Whether to aggregate the addresses of the found cells. Aggregation is recommended; otherwise, a large number of addresses may be returned. Valid values: - true: Yes - false: No (default)
