I'm looking for a way to set the "Direction" of a cell in Excel from PHP Excel.
I've gone over any documentation i could find and found only the option to set the direction for a sheet, however, it does not affect the cell direction but rather, only the layout of the page from LTR to RTL.
I need to be able to set a specific Cell or better yet, a column, to be RTL.
Please note that I'm not talking about the alignment of the cell, I'm talking about the text direction.
this is not a duplication of Set direction sheet in PHPExcel
thanks
This can only be set at the Worksheet level using
// right-to-left worksheet
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->setRightToLeft(true);
not for individual cells, ranges of cells, columns or rows
Got the answer to this by a dear friend (Bastien Koert) :
This takes care of the RTL for a single Cell.
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('J' , $i)->getAlignment()->setReadorder(PHPExcel_Style_Alignment::READORDER_RTL);
This takes care of the right alignment needed with Hebrew
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('J' , $i)->getAlignment()- >setHorizontal(PHPExcel_Style_Alignment::HORIZONTAL_RIGHT);
