Can we have a value in a hidden field while creating an excel

[HJD]

Hi,

I am have a requirement to set a hidden value in an excel which can be used later to uniquely identify the excel while using it some other systems. Can we set a hidden value in an excel and read it later in an excel using Aspose.Cells

Thanks

Hi Hemangajit,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

If your requirement is to Hide/Unhind the Rows and columns then you can

implement this functionality by using Cells.HideRow(RowIndex) and

Cells.HideColumn(ColumnIndex) functions.Following code will help you

better understand the implementation of the functionality

Sample Code:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

//Instantiating a Workbook object
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
//Opening the Excel file through the file stream
workbook.Open("C:\\book1.xls");
//Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
//Hiding the 3rd row of the worksheet
worksheet.Cells.HideRow(2);
//Hiding the 2nd column of the worksheet
worksheet.Cells.HideColumn(1);
//Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format
workbook.Save("C:\\output.xls",FileFormatType.Default);

You can also see the details of hiding / unhiding of rows and columns from documentation

Thank you & Best Regards,
