Not able to apply formula to the excel spreadsheet using phpexcel? - php

Question

I am using PHPExcel in my php code to generate an excel report with a number to spreadsheets but i want to apply formula complete columns in those spreadsheets and i am using the following code but its just applying the same values to the complete column but i want the formula to run and give values depending on the each cell column G of my worksheet, and i want these resulting values in column Q.
Following is the complete code that i am using:
<?php

$dbuser = "root"; //your MySQL User Name
$dbpass = "root"; //your MySQL Password
$dbname = "pyramid";
//your MySQL Database Name of which database to use this
$tablename = "peachtree"; //your MySQL Table Name which one you have to create excel file
// your mysql query here , we can edit this for your requirement
$tablename1 = "shipping";
$tablename2 = "embassies";
$tablename3 = "documentprocesses";
$tablename4 = "documentdetails";
$tablename5 = "documents";
$sql = "Select * from $tablename ";
$sql1= "Select * from $tablename1";
$sql2= "Select * from $tablename2";

Answer 1

Wading through your wall of code
=IF(column="SOS",15,0)
Doesn't look like a valid Excel formula to me. What is column? If it was an Excel named range, or a cell reference, then it would work; but as it stands it's nothing that would be valid in an Excel formula.
Your formula must be a valid Excel formula
EDIT
If you want to set a single cell to a value of 15 or 0 depending on whether any cell in column G contains the value "SOS", then an appropriate MS Excel formula for that would be
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH("SOS",G:G, 0)), 0, 15)
If you want to do this check on a row by row basis, then you'd set your formula to something like:
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->setCellValue($column.$rowCount,'=IF(G'.$rowCount.'="SOS",15,0)');
EDIT #2
As a way of debugging, for row #2 (ie cell Q2) that formula should be
=IF(G2="SOS",15,0)
for row #3 (cell Q3) it should be
=IF(G3="SOS",15,0)
etc
Do some basic debugging to be sure that your PHP is concatenating the formula value correctly
