Styling excel using X++ in D365FO

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by Huggins Mafigu 466

I'm using the EPPlus API to export my data to excel. What I want to achieve is to have a Wrap text in a cells in the first row of my excel and sizing of cells. I've tried with the following code but its not working. Any leads on how I can achieve that. Below is my code


System.IO.Stream workbookStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();


System.IO.MemoryStream memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();

using (var package = new OfficeOpenXml.ExcelPackage(memoryStream))
{
var currentRow = 1;
var worksheets = package.get_Workbook().get_Worksheets();
var worksheet = worksheets.Add("Sheet1");
//worksheet.Protection.IsProtected = true;
var cells = worksheet.get_Cells();
var cell = cells.get_Item(currentRow,1);
cell.AutoFitColumns();
Style.ExcelBorderStyle styleBorder; //= cell.Style.WrapText;


styleBorder = cell.Style.Wraptext;

}

I know I could have used Office Integration for exporting data to excel but it does not give me the desired formatted spreadsheet.

This is my desired output

    Your code contains a couple of things that aren't related to the problem in question, therefore let me provide a cleaner example. It's a runnable class that everybody can copy and execute; it has other dependencies besides EPPlus.

    You'll get an Excel sheet with a hundred 'a' characters inside a text-wrapped cell.

    using OfficeOpenXml;

class TextWrapDemo
{
    public static void main(Args _args)
    {
        using (System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream())
        {
            using (var package = new ExcelPackage(stream))
            {
                ExcelWorksheet worksheet = package.Workbook.Worksheets.Add("Sheet1");
            
                Style.ExcelStyle style = worksheet.Column(1).Style;
                style.WrapText = true;
            
                ExcelRange cell = worksheet.Cells.get_Item(1,1);
                cell.Value = strRep('a', 100);
            
                package.Save();
            }
            File::SendFileToUser(stream, 'data.xlsx');
        }
    }
}

    This is my whole code

    Here is a link to an EPPlus tutorial page demonstrating WrapText: https://riptutorial.com/epplus/example/26411/text-alignment-and-word-wrap.

    Can you show your complete code, please? Your brief reply doesn't make clear which object you tried to change.

    Use Insert > Insert Code (in the rich-formatting view) to paste source code.

    Setting it to true will give an error of "Wraptext is a readonly property"

    This seems to be a question about how to use EPPlus library, not about D365FO, therefore this isn't the best place to ask.

    Anyway, you can do that by setting WrapText property of a style to true.
