Hi,


First of all, please note that I have split the existing thread to create a new one on your behalf because it is advised to post distinct inquiries in separate threads.

Regarding your original concerns, yes, it is possible to insert the row & column headers to the spreadsheet before converting it to HTML. Here are the series of steps that I would suggest you to follow in order to accomplish your goal.

  • Insert an empty row & column at index 0.
  • Insert column names such as A, B, C in the first row. Similarly, insert row numbers such as 1, 2, 3 in the first column. They will serve as the header column & row respectively.
  • Apply styles on the header column & row as they look in the MS Excel application.
  • Create a range of cells covering the original data, and apply styles to replicate the grid view.

C#

Workbook book = new Workbook(dir + “sample.xlsx”);
Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets[0];

sheet.Cells.InsertColumn(0);
sheet.Cells.InsertRow(0);

sheet.Cells.Rows[0].Height = 15.75;
sheet.Cells.Columns[0].Width = 4.75;
int maxRow = sheet.Cells.MaxRow;
int maxCol = sheet.Cells.MaxColumn;
for (int i = 1; i <= maxRow; i++)
{
sheet.Cells[i, 0].PutValue(i);
}
for (int j = 1; j <= maxCol; j++)
{
sheet.Cells[0, j].PutValue(CellsHelper.ColumnIndexToName(j - 1));
}

Aspose.Cells.Style style = book.CreateStyle();
style.ForegroundColor = Color.LightGray;
style.Pattern = BackgroundType.Solid;
style.Font.IsBold = true;
style.VerticalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Center;
style.HorizontalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Center;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.LeftBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.LeftBorder].Color = Color.Black;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.RightBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.RightBorder].Color = Color.Black;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.TopBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.TopBorder].Color = Color.Black;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.BottomBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
style.Borders[Aspose.Cells.BorderType.BottomBorder].Color = Color.Black;

StyleFlag styleFlagHeader = new StyleFlag();
styleFlagHeader.All = true;
sheet.Cells.Rows[0].ApplyStyle(style, styleFlagHeader);
sheet.Cells.Columns[0].ApplyStyle(style, styleFlagHeader);

Aspose.Cells.Range range = sheet.Cells.CreateRange(“B1”, CellsHelper.ColumnIndexToName(maxCol) + (maxRow + 1));
StyleFlag styleFlagGrid = new StyleFlag();
styleFlagGrid.Borders = true;
range.ApplyStyle(style, styleFlagGrid);

book.Save(dir + “output.xlsx”, Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Xlsx);
book.Save(dir + “output.html”, new HtmlSaveOptions());

This is a wrong way to do this.
When you add a column and row, the formula’s in other cells will mess up and show up wrong in html.
Look in attachment, the fomulat B3:B5 became C3:C5, when in fact col heading shows BUntitled.png (10.3 KB)
