It seams that http://www.maatwebsite.nl/laravel-excel/docs can't figure out how to handle simple merged cells.
Importing excel file like this:
Excel::load($tmp_path, function($reader) {
$reader->dd();
})->get();
See image bellow where is problem:
You'll have to read this file out differently, you can't use the simple import methods. You have to read it out per coordinate, example of the native PHPExcel methods:
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/phpexcel_library/1.7.4/manual.html#_Toc237519900
Also you can check the link: https://github.com/Maatwebsite/Laravel-Excel/issues/442
Hope this helps.
Just checked configuration and we can set 'slugged_with_count' in heading, so results become like picture bellow. Or disable heading and rely on columns order.

I need to create an excel table with help of php. Is that possible? The php code below creates and write to an excel file. I would like to create an excel table with the data, see picture below. I'm using PhpSpreadsheet (sorry I forgot to say that)
Edit: The code below uses library PhpSpreadsheet to ceate a excel file with some content.
I want to create an excel table:
The code works and create the content as the second picture below shows. This is NOT an excel table, just plain text in cells.
But that is not what I want. I want to be able to create the content as the first picture below shows. This is an excel table. When you create an excel table by hand you can choose colrs etc. I do not care about the colors. Excel add the column name and push the content down.
What I have tried is to add: $sheet->setAutoFilter('A1:B5'); to the code, but this does not create an excel table as shown in the third picture below.
So the question is: What do I need to add to the code above to be able to create the content as shown in the first picture below
The fourth picture below shows how to crate an excel table in excel (and this is what I want the php code to do)
$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'A1');
$sheet->setCellValue('A2', 'A2');
$sheet->setCellValue('A3', 'A3');
$sheet->setCellValue('A4', 'A4');
$sheet->setCellValue('A5', 'A5');
//$sheet->setCellValue('A6', 'A6');
$sheet->setCellValue('B1', 'B1');
$sheet->setCellValue('B2', 'B2');
$sheet->setCellValue('B3', 'B3');
$sheet->setCellValue('B4', 'B4');
$sheet->setCellValue('B5', 'B5');
$writer = new Xlsx($spreadsheet);
$writer->save('CreateExcelTable.xlsx');
The picture below show the tableI would like to create
With the code above this is created:
With the code added:
$sheet->setAutoFilter('A1:B5');
The picture below show what is created.It is not a table
Insert/Table is simply a GUI "shortcut" method for styling and setting autofilters against a block of cells. Both of these can be done as individual tasks using PHPSpreadSheet, but the library does not provide a "shortcut" way of doing this with a single method call.
Take a look at section of the Developer documentation.
I have a similar problem.
My Excel Template had some array formulas that refer to Named Data Tables,
(instead of writing in the array formula A2:A150 i would simply write NameOfMyTable[NameOfColumn])
When i inserted some data in my template using PhpSpreadSheet and downloaded the produced excel file, Each instance of NameOfMyTable[NameOfColumn] was replaced with REF!
Instead of searching how make or preserve Named Data Tables while using PHPSpreasheet. I simply converted all my Named tables back to simple ranges. (you can easily do this conversion through TableTools in excel without having to change every formula in your Excel Template).
I have a code I wrote, use it if you want
look at the code
using
$excelExport = new ExcelExport(['name' => 'dılo'], 'file');
$excelExport->download();

I am trying to import an xlxs file that that some custom formats embedded within it. If I open the styles.xml file I can see the formats as follows:
When I am reading the data from these cells the custom formats aren't being applied, so I assume I need to do this manually with setNumberFormat - How can I read these custom format codes to format these values correctly?
Edit: Here is the code I am using to access the formatted value, slightly unusual as I am accessing PHPSpreadsheet classes via Laravel Excel.
foreach ($row->getCellIterator() as $cell) {
$value = (new Cell($cell))->getDelegate()->getFormattedValue();
dump($value);
}
Here is a dump of the results I get using this:
Item 10 should be 01099391 rather than 1099391
You are probably looking for \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Cell\Cell::getFormattedValue()
HI i am exporting some data from database in .xls format but when i try to save my file it alerts me that file type is not .xls format. I need to store it in excel 97-2003 Workbook. when i pretend for save as option, default file type is in as tab delimited.. how can i overcome it?? below is my code..
if ( $_POST["frmDownload"] == "Excel") {
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=employee_details.xls");
header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-type: application/x-msexcel");
}
use phpExcel which is excellent for all excel manipulation.
Here is the list of examples.
use the method fromArray to write excel from array which is fetched from persistent data.
use the method toArray to form a php array from excel sheet.
The learning curve is very simple first try first example only from official site.
Then try the fromArray and toArray its very easy and also phpExcel have lots of functionality like gradient background for a cell, border size increasing, formula manipulation and new worksheet also easy to create.
Important: read documentation on when ever you get free time
The format is tab delimited... You are just 'naming' it excel in this way... Look at gvgvgvijayan's answer for the solution to your problem.
I'm trying to set up the print options for an excel file in PHPExcel. I'm working from the packaged API documents (version 1.7.7) but can't find any methods to do this. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
This setting is found in MS Excel under Print > Page Setup > Sheet.
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setPrintGridlines(TRUE);
EDIT
setPrintGridlines() identifies whether gridlines around cells should be displayed when printing a worksheet from MS Excel; the default is FALSE. setShowGridlines() identifies whether gridlines around cells should be displayed when the spreadsheet is shown in the MS EXcel GUI; the default is TRUE;
I've found the one I was looking for. It was under the Worksheet class and not the page setup class as I'd previously thought.
For anyone looking in future, this is the method you need:
PHPExcel_Worksheet setPrintGridlines( [boolean $pValue = false])
There are two functions very similar though: setPrintGridlines and setShowGridlines. I'm not quite sure of the difference. Can anyone enlighten me?
Greetings !!
I have to insert a logo(image) on the row[0],column[0].I am using "Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer" for that.i tried its insertBitmap() methode ,program working fine but it doesn't show the bitmap image on xls sheet,instead blank row. what could be reason ? can you please let me know the exact string format for the argument. Is there any other way to insert image on xls sheet using PHP5.i am very new to php ,it will be a great help .
Have a nice time ahead !!
[edit]
Here is the code, as per Aman's comment below:
$sew =& new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer ();
$worksheet =& $sew->addWorksheet (substr (strval ($name).strval ($sht), 0, 31));
$worksheet->insertBitmap ($row,$col,$image,$x,$y,$scale_x,$scale_y);
I never could get Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer to work properly with image insertions. Not sure if it's a bug in the library or what. But in any case, S_E_W is hideously outdated, you should switch to PHPExcel instead, which supports recent Excel formats (including .xlsx) for reading AND writing, whereas S_E_W is limited to BIFF 5.0, which is Excel '95 (or thereabouts) and only supports writing.
I've just ran a test using Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer. SEW saves the excel file using BIFF5 format. Open Office Calc will read images from BIFF8, but not from BIFF5 files.
EDIT
Further testing:
Setting SEW to write BIFF8 by using $workbook->setVersion(8); still doesn't write the bitmap image correctly as a BIFF8 file. It would seem that unless you want to rewrite SEW to store images correctly for BIFF8, then you won't see them when opening the file in OOCalc... without reading through the OOCalc or SEW code, I couldn't say what the problem is. Nor does Gnumeric read the image when the file is saved as BIFF5, but it will display the image correctly when the file is saved as BIFF8.
I've gotten this to work. The thing is, this writer is EXTREMELY sensitive to cell overwriting.
Your syntax is correct.
Things to look out for:
Make sure the file is 24 bit BMP. That's the only thing this writer supports.
Make sure nothing overwrites the cell where you place the image.
Make sure that the image path is correct.
And make sure the scale is set. If it's not set, it goes to 0 which doesn't display the image. The default is noted as 1, but it's not.
