Hiding Columns in Excel Workbooks using openxlsx

问题:

I'm trying to hide columns in an Excel workbook I'm creating using the openxlsx package in R, but I'm not having any luck. I could make a pre-formatted Excel workbook and write data to it, but the number of columns that need to be hidden is variable. I've tried using:

 setColWidths(wb, sheet = "Sheet 1", cols = col_list, widths = 0)

where "col_list" is the list of columns that need to be hidden. When I open the saved workbook, the column widths are actually 0.38. If anybody has any ideas on how I might go about this, it would be much appreciated.

回答1:

The documentation shows the fields for the formula as below:

setColWidths(wb, sheet, cols, widths = 8.43, hidden = rep(FALSE, length(cols)), ignoreMergedCells = FALSE)

So setting hidden = rep(TRUE, length(cols)) should hide your columns
