When I try to set the value of an cell with a formula, e.g.: setCellValue('C1', '=A1+B1'), the generated file don't have the calculated value for the cells.
I have the following script:
<?php
require_once '../vendor/autoload.php';
date_default_timezone_set('America/Sao_Paulo');
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', 5)
->setCellValue('B1', 10)
->setCellValue('C1', '=A1+B1');
echo $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('C1')->getCalculatedValue() . PHP_EOL;
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('a.xlsx');
When I open a.xlsx with libreoffice, the cell C1 shows the string "0". The odd thing is that when I click the cell it actually shows "=A1+B1", but not the final result.
How do I get PHPExcel to work with formulas properly?
I had the same problem with LibreOffice 5.0.5.2.
Changing the following option in LibreOffice Calc worked for me:
Go to Tools/Options.../LibreOffice Calc/Formula
In section "Recalculation on file load", "Excel 2007 and newer", change the value to "Always recalculate"
Found on
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/12165/calc-auto-recalc-does-not-work/

I have two xlsx files: first.xlsx and second.xlsx, I would combine this two files in one and color the second part of the last file appended(second.xlsx). What can I do?
Open/load both files as two separate PHPExcel objects, and use the addExternalSheet() method to move sheets from the second PHPExcel object to the first, then colour to taste and save the first.
$objPHPExcel1 = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load("MergeBook1.xlsx");
$objPHPExcel2 = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load("MergeBook2.xlsx");
foreach($objPHPExcel2->getSheetNames() as $sheetName) {
$sheet = $objPHPExcel2->getSheetByName($sheetName);
$sheet->setTitle($sheet->getTitle() . ' copied');
$objPHPExcel1->addExternalSheet($sheet);
}
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel1, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('mergedBooks.xlsx');
The use of addExternalSheet() ensures that all styling, merges, etc as well as cell data is transferred over from the second workbook to the first
You can do whatever additional styling and colouring you want after the merge loop, and before saving
EDIT
If you simply want to copy data from one workbook to another, then something like:
$objPHPExcel1 = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load("MergeBook1.xlsx");
$objPHPExcel2 = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load("MergeBook2.xlsx");
$objPHPExcel1->getActiveSheet()->fromArray(
$objPHPExcel2->getActiveSheet->toArray(),
null,
'A' . ($objPHPExcel1->getActiveSheet()->getHighestRow() + 1)
);
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel1, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter->save('mergedBooks.xlsx');
I am using PHPExcel for editing existing excel sheets.
I had already set up a Data Validation method in my excel sheet as below.
When i edit this excel using PHPExcel, this Excel Specific Data Validation vanishes.
Can anyone help me to overcome this issue. I need to edit the excel without changing its functionality.
My PHP code:
//load existing template..
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load('www/PHPExcelReader/Excel_Uploads/sample.xls');
// Set document properties
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Logic Item")
->setLastModifiedBy("Logic")
->setTitle("List");
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)->setCellValue('AZ1', $combination);
// Set active sheet index to the first sheet, so Excel opens this as the first sheet
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
$file_name='sample.xls';
$objWriter->save($file_name);
echo "Excel is ready to download now...";
From spreadsheet files that I've just created with data validation on cell A1 applying values from a list in $G1:$G4 and the following code:
$inputFileType = 'Excel5';
$inputFileName = './15datavalidationUnpopulated.xls';
$outputFileType = 'Excel5';
$outputFileName = './15datavalidationPopulated.xls';
$objPHPExcelReader = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createReader($inputFileType);
$objPHPExcel = $objPHPExcelReader->load($inputFileName);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('G1', "India")
->setCellValue('G2', "America")
->setCellValue('G3', "China")
->setCellValue('G4', "Russia");
$objPHPExcelWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel,$outputFileType);
$objPHPExcel = $objPHPExcelWriter->save($outputFileName);
works with both .xls and .xlsx files, showing India, America, China and Russia in the data validation dropdown list for cell A1
I have a excel file with two sheet:
Worksheet;
List- list of items which will display in Worksheet sheet as a list item.
Please see the below images:
I want to generate this using PHPExcel library. I have tried but not getting the expected results. See my below code :
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
// Set document properties
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("Soumya Biswas")
->setLastModifiedBy("Soumya Biswas")
->setTitle("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")
->setSubject("Office 2007 XLSX Test Document")
->setDescription("Test document for Office 2007 XLSX, generated using PHP classes.")
->setKeywords("office 2007 openxml php")
->setCategory("Test result file");
// Create a first sheet
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A5', "List");
// Set data validation
$objValidation = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B5')->getDataValidation();
$objValidation->setType( PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::TYPE_LIST );
$objValidation->setErrorStyle( PHPExcel_Cell_DataValidation::STYLE_INFORMATION );
$objValidation->setAllowBlank(false);
$objValidation->setShowInputMessage(true);
$objValidation->setShowErrorMessage(true);
$objValidation->setShowDropDown(true);
$objValidation->setErrorTitle('Input error');
$objValidation->setError('Value is not in list.');
$objValidation->setPromptTitle('Pick from list');
$objValidation->setPrompt('Please pick a value from the drop-down list.');
$objValidation->setFormula1('"$List.$A$1:$A$10"'); // Make sure to put the list items between " and " !!!
$objPHPExcel->createSheet();
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(1);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('List');
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue("A{$i}", "List Item {$i}");
}
// Set active sheet index to the first sheet, so Excel opens this as the first sheet
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="data-validation.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
$objWriter->save('php://output');
exit;
I think the correct syntax for referencing ranges of cells in another sheet is:
List!$A$1:$A$10
So you should try:
$objValidation->setFormula1('List!$A$1:$A$10'); // tested it, worked for me
Got the idea from http://phpexcel.codeplex.com/discussions/320393:
->setFormula1("Worksheet!A1:{$endCell}1");// work....
Although this guy had another problem with using named ranges.
Background: I think with:
$objValidation->setFormula1('"$List.$A$1:$A$10"');
you're explicity using the given string between the quotation marks as the list value as explained here: here (where you probably got this snippet in the first place) or here.
But since you don't want to use fixed list items but dynamically referred ones, you should omit the double quotation marks.
$objPHPExcel = PHPExcel_IOFactory::load("untitled.xls");
foreach ($objPHPExcel->getWorksheetIterator() as $worksheet) //loop through the 3 worksheets of KindleEditionEISBN
{
$sheet_name = $worksheet->getTitle();
if ($worksheet->getTitle = 'Records')
{
$highestColumm = $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)->getHighestColumn();
$highestRow = $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)->getHighestRow();
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($highestColumm, $highestRow, $node_10);
$objWriter2007 = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel2007');
$objWriter2007->save('php://output');
The above is my code, I run it and the if loop works because I am getting the output but it does not do anything in my "untitled.xls" file
This code won't write anything to untitled.xls because you're saving to php://output (the screen) so the content of the file should be displayed on screen unless you're also sending headers to tell a browser to treat the output as an Excel file; and you're using the Excel2007 Writer to generate the output as an OfficeOpenXML format xlsx file rather than as a BIFF format xls file.
So are you seeing the output on screen?
In my application i need to export to xls file in a predefined format.
so I just integrated php_excel2007. I am using one template with a predefined format.
The problem here is the cell data may change dynamically. if data is much bigger than cell height then data is collapsing.
So is ther anyway to increase the height of cell based on content of the cell(in XLX not xlsx)?
The only way is as described in this answer to your previous question on this topic: setting the row height to autofit, and the cell alignment to wrap. This should work the same way, whether you use the Excel5 Writer or the Excel2007 Writer.
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
// Set some long string values in some cells
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A1')->setValue("This is a large block of text,\ncomprising several lines,\nthat will be set to autofit.");
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A2')->setValue("This is a large block of text that will NOT be set to autofit.");
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('B1')->setValue("This is another large block of text without any line breaks, that will be set to autofit.");
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A3')->setValue("This is another large block of text,\ncomprising several lines,\nthat will be set to autofit.");
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getCell('A4')->setValue("This is another large block of text without any line breaks, that will be set to autofit but not wrap.");
// Fix the column width to a reasonable size
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimension('A')->setWidth(30);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimension('B')->setWidth(30);
// Set text wrap for cells A1 and B1. This forces the text to wrap, but doesn't adjust the height of the row
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->getAlignment()->setWrapText(true);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('B1')->getAlignment()->setWrapText(true);
// Set rows 1, 3 and 4 to autofit the height to the size of text
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getRowDimension(1)->setRowHeight(-1);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getRowDimension(3)->setRowHeight(-1);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getRowDimension(4)->setRowHeight(-1);
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
$objWriter->save('testAutoHeight.xls');
EDIT
Added comments to the code sample to explain what each called method actually does
setRowHeight to -1 for make auto height (based on cell data)
// auto-size on row 1
$objWorksheet->getRowDimension('1')->setRowHeight(-1);
