Hiding and Showing Rows and Columns in PHP

Aspose.Cells - Controlling the Visibility of Rows & Columns

Hiding Rows and Columns

Developers can hide a row or column by calling the HideRow and HideColumn methods of the Cells collection respectively. Both methods take the row/column index as a parameter to hide the specific row or column.

PHP Code

 public static function hide_rows_columns($dataDir)

{

    # Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

    $workbook = new Workbook($dataDir . 'Book1.xls');

    # Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file

    $worksheet = $workbook->getWorksheets()->get(0);

    $cells = $worksheet->getCells();;

    # Hiding the 3rd row of the worksheet

    $cells->hideRow(2);

    # Hiding the 2nd column of the worksheet

    $cells->hideColumn(1);

    # Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format

    $workbook->save($dataDir . "Hide Rows And Columns.xls");

    print "Hide Rows And Columns Successfully." . PHP_EOL;

}

Showing Rows and Columns

Developers can unhide any hidden row or column by calling the UnhideRow and UnhideColumn methods of the Cells collection respectively. Both methods take two parameters:

• Rowor column index - the index of a row or column that is used to show the specific row or column.
• Row height or column width - the row height or column width assigned to the row or column after it’s shown.

PHP Code

 public static function unhide_rows_columns($dataDir)

{

    # Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

    $workbook = new Workbook($dataDir . 'Book1.xls');

    # Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file

    $worksheet = $workbook->getWorksheets()->get(0);

    $cells = $worksheet->getCells();;

    # Unhiding the 3rd row and setting its height to 13.5

    $cells->unhideRow(2,13.5);

    # Unhiding the 2nd column and setting its width to 8.5

    $cells->unhideColumn(1,8.5);

    # Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format

    $workbook->save($dataDir . "Unhide Rows And Columns.xls");

    print "Unhide Rows And Columns Successfully." . PHP_EOL;

}
