How to middle align cell value in PhpSpreadsheet? - php

Question

I want to align the cell value to the middle. My output looks like this:-
My expected output should be this:
I want every column to be in the center. I tried the following code:
$styleArray = [
'font' => [
'bold' => true,
],
'alignment' => [
'horizontal' => \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\Alignment::VERTICAL_CENTER,
],
'fill' => [
'fillType' => \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\Fill::FILL_SOLID,
'startColor' => [
'argb' => '0070C0',
],
'endColor' => [
'argb' => '0070C0',
],
],
];
$spreadsheet->getDefaultStyle()->getFont()->setSize(10);
I tried all the other attributes like HORIZONTAL_CENTER, RIGHT, LEFT, JUSTIFY, etc. How can I do this properly?

Answer 1

You're setting the wrong (and one too few) key(s) for the alignment setting. What you're attempting to achieve is the vertical and horizontal alignment of the text.
'alignment' => [
'vertical' => \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\Alignment::VERTICAL_CENTER,
'horizontal' => \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER,
],

Answer 2

Beyond the style array way you can also do it in the method chaining way:
$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getStyle($cells)->getAlignment()->setHorizontal($align)
$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getStyle($cells)->getAlignment()->setVertical($align);
$cells should be a single cell ('A1') or a range of cells ('A1:E4').
$align should be a constant of the \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Style\Alignment class (or its string value) for the desired alignment.
for horizontal alignment:
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_GENERAL or 'general'
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_LEFT or 'left'
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_RIGHT or 'right'
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER or 'center'
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER_CONTINUOUS or 'centerContinuous'
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_JUSTIFY or 'justify'
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_FILL or 'fill'
Alignment::HORIZONTAL_DISTRIBUTED or 'distributed' (Excel2007 only)
for vertical alignment:
Alignment::VERTICAL_BOTTOM or 'bottom'
Alignment::VERTICAL_TOP or 'top'
Alignment::VERTICAL_CENTER or 'center'
Alignment::VERTICAL_JUSTIFY or 'justify'
Alignment::VERTICAL_DISTRIBUTED or 'distributed' (Excel2007 only)
