Grouping and Ungrouping Rows and Columns in PHP

Aspose.Cells - Group Management of Rows & Columns

Grouping Rows & Columns

It is possible to group rows or columns by calling the groupRows and groupColumns methods of the Cells collection. Both methods take the following parameters:

• First row/column index, the first row or column in the group.
• Last row/column index, the last row or column in the group.
• Is hidden, a Boolean parameter that specifies whether to hide rows/columns after grouping or not.

PHP Code

 public static function group_rows_columns($dataDir)

{

    # Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

    $workbook = new Workbook($dataDir . 'Book1.xls');

    # Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file

    $worksheet = $workbook->getWorksheets()->get(0);

    $cells = $worksheet->getCells();;

    # Grouping first six rows (from 0 to 5) and making them hidden by passing true

    $cells->groupRows(0,5,true);

    # Grouping first three columns (from 0 to 2) and making them hidden by passing true

    $cells->groupColumns(0,2,true);

    # Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format

    $workbook->save($dataDir . "Group Rows And Columns.xls");

    print "Group Rows And Columns Successfully." . PHP_EOL;

}

Ungrouping Rows & Columns

Ungroup grouped rows or columns by calling the Cells collection’s UngroupRows and UngroupColumns methods. Both methods take the same parameters:

• First row or column index, the first row/column to be ungrouped.
• Last row or column index, the last row/column to be ungrouped.

PHP Code

 public static function ungroup_rows_columns($dataDir)

{

    # Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

    $workbook = new Workbook($dataDir . 'Group Rows And Columns.xls');

    # Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file

    $worksheet = $workbook->getWorksheets()->get(0);

    $cells = $worksheet->getCells();;

    # Ungrouping first six rows (from 0 to 5)

    $cells->ungroupRows(0,5);

    # Ungrouping first three columns (from 0 to 2)

    $cells->ungroupColumns(0,2);

    # Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format

    $workbook->save($dataDir . "Ungroup Rows And Columns.xls");

    print "Ungroup Rows And Columns Successfully." . PHP_EOL;

}
