Hi Ranju,

Thanks for the interest in Syncfusion products.

You can use the GridControl that has excel features. GridControl can easily handle the cell specific properties and formulas like =A1+B4*(C2-D4). Essential GridControl is a powerful gridcontrol that is implemented using a unique Styles Architecture. This gridcontrol which, is similar to Microsoft Excel allows extremely detailed customization down to the cell level. Multi-level Undo / Redo, shared scrollbar support, data / view separation, floating cells, more than 18 cell types and unmatched extensibility are unique features of the Essential Grid.


And here is the brief description of the Essential Grids :

GridControl :
Stores data in its own internal data structures or can be bound in a virtual manner to any external datasource.

GridGroupingControl :
Supports grouping with summaries, filters and expression columns; can be used with flat datasources, hierarchical datasources or datasources with multiple nested tables.

GridDataBoundGrid :
Can be used with either flat or hierarchical datatsources; does not include grouping support.

GridListControl :
Adds multi-column / icon functionality to a list box.

GridRecordNavigationControl :
Provides an Access-like navigation bar that lets your users browse records in a grid.

TabBarSplitterControl :
Allows users to create TabPages with dynamic splitters; when used with grids, this control gives a workbook look.

GridAwareTextBox :
Can be bound to the current cell of a grid; this control lets a user easily add an EditBar to the grid.


You can also refer the forum thread below that discuse about selection of grid.
