Example
This example demonstrates how to format cells in a worksheet.
- To format an individual cell, access the corresponding Cell object and modify its properties (for example Formatting.Font, Formatting.Fill, Formatting.Borders, Formatting.Alignment and Formatting.NumberFormat).
- To format a range of cells, access and modify the Formatting object via the
CellRange.BeginUpdateFormatting- CellRange.EndUpdateFormatting paired methods.
// Access the cell to be formatted.
Cell cell = worksheet.Cells["B2"];
// Specify font settings (font name, color, size and style).
cell.Font.Name = "MV Boli";
cell.Font.Color = Color.Blue;
cell.Font.Size = 14;
cell.Font.FontStyle = SpreadsheetFontStyle.Bold;
// Specify cell background color.
cell.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.LightSkyBlue;
// Specify text alignment in the cell.
cell.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center;
cell.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center;
// Access the range of cells to be formatted.
CellRange range = worksheet.Range["C3:E6"];
// Begin updating of the range formatting.
Formatting rangeFormatting = range.BeginUpdateFormatting();
// Specify font settings (font name, color, size and style).
rangeFormatting.Font.Name = "MV Boli";
rangeFormatting.Font.Color = Color.Blue;
rangeFormatting.Font.Size = 14;
rangeFormatting.Font.FontStyle = SpreadsheetFontStyle.Bold;
// Specify cell background color.
rangeFormatting.Fill.BackgroundColor = Color.LightSkyBlue;
// Specify text alignment in cells.
rangeFormatting.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center;
rangeFormatting.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center;
// End updating of the range formatting.
range.EndUpdateFormatting(rangeFormatting);
