Grouping and Ungrouping Rows and Columns in Ruby

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.

Ruby Code

 def group_rows_columns()

    data_dir = File.dirname(File.dirname(File.dirname(__FILE__))) + '/data/'



    # Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

    workbook = Rjb::import('com.aspose.cells.Workbook').new(data_dir + '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(data_dir + "Group Rows And Columns.xls")

    puts "Group Rows And Columns Successfully."

end  

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.

Ruby Code

 def ungroup_rows_columns()

    data_dir = File.dirname(File.dirname(File.dirname(__FILE__))) + '/data/'



    # Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

    workbook = Rjb::import('com.aspose.cells.Workbook').new(data_dir + '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(data_dir + "Ungroup Rows And Columns.xls")

    puts "Ungroup Rows And Columns Successfully."

end
