Autofit column after setting the date format in Excel using Aspose.Cells for .NET in C#

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hello,

In my excel, i selected a cell and that cell i set a format like date,“Wednesday, March 14, 2012”, in Format Cells.

In my code:

selectedCell.PutValue(datetimeValue);
worksheet.AutoFitColumn(selectedCell.Column);

where datetimeValue is System.Datetime.

The value of cell.StringValue is not the format that i set in the excel but is the same date of datetimeValue . And the autoFitColumn function calculated the width seems using cell.StringValue.
As a result when i open the excel, the value is correct but the width is too narrow to shown the whole format and become ######.
My Question is how could i handle it?

@mshinmina,

Thanks for the details.

I tested your scenario/ case a bit using the following sample code,it works fine and as expected. Please see the sample code and find attached the output Excel file for your reference:
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook wb = new Workbook();
            Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];
            
            DateTime dt = DateTime.Now.Date;
            ws.Cells["A1"].PutValue(dt);

            Style style = wb.CreateStyle();
            style.Custom = "[$-F800]dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy";

            ws.Cells["A1"].SetStyle(style);

        ws.AutoFitColumn(ws.Cells["A1"].Column);

        wb.Save("e:\\test2\\out1.xlsx");

If you still find any issue, kindly do provide your sample code (runnable) and template file to show the issue, we will check it soon.
