How to make a range of text bold text style using Apache POI?
Eg:
Instead of applying style for the entire cell.
I used to do this in vb.net with these lines of code:
excellSheet.Range("C2").Value = "Priority: " + priority
excellSheet.Range("C2").Characters(0, 8).Font.Bold = True
But I can't find the way to do that in Java using Apache POI.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!
First, create your Font
with bold styling, using the Workbook
object.
Font font = workbook.createFont();
font.setBoldweight(Font.BOLDWEIGHT_BOLD);
Next, grab the RichTextString
from the Cell
and call the applyFont
overload that takes a range of indexes and the Font
to apply.
RichTextString rts = cell.getRichStringCellValue();
rts.applyFont(0, 8, font);
You should reuse the Font
object if you want to convert other text in the workbook to bold.
