Auto fit columns in excel using open xml

I have generate excel using open xml and it contain auto fit property for columns. my problem is that the excel is opening very well in kingsoft spreadsheets
and other tools, but not opening in microsoft excel 2013 and older version. Is there any solution for auto fit columns in excel using open xml and should open in Microsoft excel all version

Hi Raj12345,
>> I have generate excel using open xml and it contain auto fit property for columns. my problem is that the excel is opening very well in kingsoft spreadsheets and other tools, but not opening in microsoft excel 2013 and older version
I assume you was using OpenXML SDK and I'm afraid we are not able to find the root cause according to your description, would you mind sharing us some code sample to reproduce this issue.
>> Is there any solution for auto fit columns in excel using open xml and should open in Microsoft excel all version
As far as I know, there is no auto fit property for columns in excel with openxml. I am afraid that you need to calculate the column width depending on the cell contents, and then set the column width. The link below shows more details:

Render HTML inside Excel, using Open XML

Hello guys,
I am creating excel file using, Open XML.
The data will be coming from database, and can contain HTML tags.
e.g. <b>some sample <i style='color:red'> text </i></b>
I want the HTML to be rendered inside excel sheet, so that user can view well formatted excel..
Please, Help me out

Hi J_Prasanna,
I'm afraid that it's not possible with OpenXML SDK, but it's possible if you use Excel PIA along with Internet Explorer. Use the Internet Explorer COM object to render the HTML content, then copy the document, use the Paste method of the Worksheet object
to paste the text with format.
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With IE
.Visible = False
.Navigate "about:blank"
.document.body.InnerHTML = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
.document.body.createtextrange.execCommand "Copy"
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1")
.Quit
End With
The code is similar if you use managed project.

When reading the Rich Text present in Excel column using open XML its taking it as plain text

Hello All,
When i am reading excel columns using open Xml in C# everything is working fine except the column that
contain Rich Text (ex: bold, italic,color,size). Its reading the Rich Text content as plain text. As we know for Rich Text in open XML we get the text as Runs (C#
object) which contains the text as value and rpr as run properties. I have also written the code to convert Runs to html. But the issue is that for some Rich Text format its reading it as Runs but most of the Rich Text its reading it as plain text.
The issue i am getting is, for some rich text its creating RUN and for some of the rich text its not creatingRUN.
Let me give the example for more understanding:
Suppose i have two cells in excel which contains the below text.
1. Rich Text
1
2. RichText
2
Now when i read these cells using the below code
var stringTable =spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetPartsOfType<SharedStringTablePart>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringTable.SharedStringTable.ElementAt(index1).ChildElements.GetItem(0).GetType().Name == "Run")
Custom code to convert Rich text to HTML...
else
Read the plain text...
Though both the cell contains rich text, one is going in RUN block and one is going in Plain text bloc.
Also, one thing that i have noticed is when i use standard color for text its consider it as RUNS and when i use color apart from the standard color it does not consider it as RUNS. Same behavior occurs for different combination of text viz. bold, italic, underline
etc

How to auto fit column width?

Hi experts,
When I design a input schedule, I find a problem, some columns can auto fit column width when I input numerics, some columns can not! how can I fix my input schedule and let all column can auto fit column width?
best regard
Evans.

Evans,
      If you are using standard template and which is not working for 2 data ranges.
      I think you can customize using VBA Macros. It is possible using Macros. I'm not sure is it BUG from SAP.
     Try to put VBA code in AFTER_REFRESH i guess.
      You can VBA Macro code mention below.
      for Column D: Columns("D:D").EntireColumn.AutoFit
      For all Columns: Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
      For Only Data Ranges: Determine columns from data range using VBA code and use VBA code given for Column .
Thanks,
Ben.

Unable to capture the adf table column sort icons using open script tool

Hi All,
I am new to OATS and I am trying to create script for testing ADF application using open script tool. I face issues in recording two events.

Group columns in Excel using XSLT simple transformation

Hi All,
I have to group a few columns in the excel so that they can be expanded or collapsed. I am transforming an internal table into XML using Simple transformation. In this XSLT, I need to add the code to group the particular columns together in the final excel.
Can any one please help me in acheiving the columns grouped together.
Thanks and Regards,
Vishnu.
Edited by: Vishnu Kare on Mar 24, 2011 7:22 AM

Hi Vishnu, I am also using simple transformations (not XSLT) to create XML excel from SAP data. I always create a template excel workbook from excel by saving it as XML file. This XML can be pasted into the SAP transformation without completely understanding the Microsoft excel syntax. The dynamic SAP data then can be included to the XML in the transformation.

Auto fit-width of form on open

I have created a fillable form that has an orientation of landscape. When we open it in Internet Explorer, it fits the entire form in the browser instead of doing a "fit width". This causes my users to have to fit it to the width in IE manually. Some of my users have a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and some have a screen resolution of 800 x 600. I would like to force a "fit width" when anyone opens the form in IE. How can I force that? If this requires programming code I will need specifics. Thanks!

Hi,
No; I would not recommend inserting script directly into the XML Source tab. You rarely have to go in here.
If you go to the Design view and select on of the objects in your form (TextField, numericField, etc). Then check that your Script Editor is open, it should be visible at the top of the window, just below the menu and toolbars. It may only be one line high, if that is the case then drag the bottom bar to make it bigger.
If you cannot see the Script Editor, then you can open in from the Window menu or select Control+Shift+F5.
When you select an object, you can go to the Script Editor and select from the dropdown which event you want to script for. In this case we are looking for the Initialize event. The script is Javascript so you need to check that in the language dropdown. Also unless you are using a server solution, your scripts will run at Client.
You can put in the script into the Script Editor.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Insert a Picture into the Picture/Image Content Control using Open XML SDK 2.0

I have created a word template as follows
Here PizzaPicture is a Picture Content Control, PizzaName is a Plain Text Content Control and PizzaDescription is a Rich Text Content Control
I am able to assign text to PizzaName and PizzaDescription Easily but not able to even locate the PizzaPicture. Here is my code
using (WordprocessingDocument document = WordprocessingDocument.Open(@".\test.docx", true)) {
MainDocumentPart mainPart = document.MainDocumentPart;
DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Text text = null;
SdtContentBlock pizzaNameBlock = null;
SdtContentBlock pizzaDescriptionBlock = null;
//SdtContentBlock pizzaPictureBlock = null;
List<SdtBlock> sdtList = mainPart.Document.Descendants<SdtBlock>().ToList();
foreach (SdtBlock sdt in sdtList)
Console.WriteLine(sdt.SdtProperties.GetFirstChild<Tag>().Val.Value);
SdtBlock s1 = mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtBlock>().Where(r => r.SdtProperties.GetFirstChild<Tag>().Val == "PizzaName").Single();
SdtBlock s2 = mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtBlock>().Where(r => r.SdtProperties.GetFirstChild<Tag>().Val == "PizzaDescription").Single();
SdtBlock s3 = mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<SdtBlock>().FirstOrDefault(r =>
SdtProperties p = r.Elements<SdtProperties>().FirstOrDefault();
if (p != null)
Console.WriteLine("P is not null");
// Is it a picture content control?
SdtContentPicture pict =
p.Elements<SdtContentPicture>().FirstOrDefault();
if (pict != null) Console.WriteLine("Pict is not null");
// Get the alias.
SdtAlias a = p.Elements<SdtAlias>().FirstOrDefault();
if (pict != null && a.Val == "PizzaPicture")
return true;
return false;
if (s3 == null) {
Console.Write(" s3 is Null");
} else {
Console.WriteLine("s3 not null");
if (s1 != null) {
pizzaNameBlock = s1.Descendants<SdtContentBlock>().FirstOrDefault();
text = pizzaNameBlock.Descendants<DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Text>().FirstOrDefault();
// here you can set the current time
text.Text = "Peperoni";
Console.WriteLine(text.Text);
string embed = null;
if (s3 != null)
Drawing dr = s3.Descendants<Drawing>().FirstOrDefault();
if (dr != null)
Blip blip = dr.Descendants<Blip>().FirstOrDefault();
if (blip != null)
embed = blip.Embed;
if (embed != null)
IdPartPair idpp = document.MainDocumentPart.Parts
.Where(pa => pa.RelationshipId == embed).FirstOrDefault();
if (idpp != null)
ImagePart ip = (ImagePart)idpp.OpenXmlPart;
using (FileStream fileStream =
File.Open(@"c:\temp\pepperoni.jpg", FileMode.Open))
ip.FeedData(fileStream);
if (s2 != null) {
pizzaDescriptionBlock = s2.Descendants<SdtContentBlock>().FirstOrDefault();
string altChunkId = "AltChunkId12345";
AlternativeFormatImportPart chunk = mainPart.AddAlternativeFormatImportPart(AlternativeFormatImportPartType.Xhtml, altChunkId);
chunk.FeedData(File.Open(@".\html.txt", FileMode.Open));
AltChunk altChunk = new AltChunk();
altChunk.Id = altChunkId;
////Replace content control with altChunk information
OpenXmlElement parent = pizzaDescriptionBlock.Parent;
parent.InsertAfter(altChunk, pizzaDescriptionBlock);
pizzaDescriptionBlock.Remove();
mainPart.Document.Save();
document.Close();
Here the call mainPart.Document.Descendants<SdtBlock>().ToList(); returns me only 2 items PizzaName, PizzaDescription but
no PizzaPicture.
Secondly the line SdtContentPicture pict = p.Elements<SdtContentPicture>().FirstOrDefault();
returns NULL. So it seems that there is no element of type SdtContentPicture.
What am I doing wrong? I am pretty sure that I have put PizzaPicture as a Picture content control.
My objective is to locate this control in the document and then insert an image into it programmatically.
MSDNStudent Knows not much!

Hi,
I'm running some test on your code, and I'll come back as soon as I get some update. But before that, I would recommend you to bind customXMLPart with the content controls via Content Control Tool Kit,
which enables us to bind customXMLPart with CC by dragging and dropping.
After binding, you can change contents of the template via OpenXML SDK easily as the following code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
string fileName = @"C:\CCTest.docx";
WordprocessingDocument wordDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(fileName, true);
MainDocumentPart mainPart = wordDoc.MainDocumentPart;
CustomXmlPart customPart = mainPart.CustomXmlParts.FirstOrDefault();
//convert image into string
string picName = @"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg";
System.IO.FileStream fileStream = System.IO.File.Open(picName, System.IO.FileMode.Open);
System.IO.BinaryReader br = new System.IO.BinaryReader(fileStream);
byte[] byteArea;
byteArea = br.ReadBytes(System.Convert.ToInt32(fileStream.Length));
string picString = System.Convert.ToBase64String(byteArea);
//Load the XML template
string DataString = Properties.Resources.XMLData;
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
xmlDoc.LoadXml(DataString);
//change the value
XmlNodeList xmlNode = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("pizzaPic");
xmlNode[0].InnerText = picString;
xmlNode = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("pizzaName");
xmlNode[0].InnerText = "Pizza Name";
xmlNode = xmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("pizzaDescription");
xmlNode[0].InnerText = "Pizza Description";
//write the custom xml data into the customxmlpart
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(customPart.GetStream(System.IO.FileMode.Create), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
writer.WriteRaw(xmlDoc.InnerXml);
writer.Flush();
writer.Close();
fileStream.Close();
br.Close();
mainPart.Document.Save();
wordDoc.Close();
and the XML template of the project would something like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Pizza xmlns="http://Test/ContentControls/Pizzas">
<pizzaPic></pizzaPic>
<pizzaName></pizzaName>
<pizzaDescription></pizzaDescription>
</Pizza>
I hope this helps.

How do I autosize columns in Excel using ActiveX in Labview

I found the ExcelExamples.llb but nothing that describes this. My data is sometimes bigger than the default column width.
thanks

How about using a macro to run the column autosize function?
I cheated, and recorded an autosize operation on a column, and then looked at the vb code behind the macro...
Columns("D").EntireColumn.AutoFit
should do the trick.
In the excelexamples.llb, they seem to use macros to perform other functions, so maybe this is a way to achieve the autosize function that you require.
Hope this helps...

Insert Pie Chart to Excel Using OpenXml

I managed to implement the code(I got from MSDN) to create a bar graph in excel, I am however facing challenges in creating a piechart, I had thought that I can manipulate the code a little bit and produce a pie chart-but I have spent nights and
nights still can't find my way to create a pie chart. I need help on this, I would appreciate if you can help me through this.
F.Shumba

Hi F.Shuba,
From the description, you want to create a piechart using Open XML.
A recommend way is that create a pie chart manually and use Open XML SDK 2.5 Productivity Tool to open this workbook. Then you can get the code for creaing the chart for reference.
If you still have issue, please feel free to let me know.

How to save a selected word image to image file in open XML in PNG format?
