Provide new argument calc_chain to
wb_load(). This is set to FALSE per default,
to ignore the calculation chain if it is found. This change only
reflects files imported from third party spreadsheet software and should
not be visible to the user. 461
Tweaks to wb_data(). Dims is now optional and will
select data similar to wb_to_df(), similar it allows
passing down other wb_to_df() arguments. Though, it
probably is a good idea not be to creative passing down arguments, not
all will result in a usable wb_data object. 462
Add hidden argument and change the default for
heights to NULL in
set_row_heights(). This allows changing the row height
and/or hiding selected rows. This does not yet provide a way to hide
rows per default. 475
Add wb_add_chartsheet() for chart sheet support.
Along with internal cleanup around chart sheet code. 466
Fix wb_freeze_pane(). This changes the load logic a
bit. Previously we put everything into sheetViews (the
frozen pane is part of this). Though wb_freeze_pane()
assumes that freezePane is used. We now try to be smart and
split sheetViews upon loading. 465
Previously, adding mschart objects to sheets was only possible if (1) the worksheet already contained a drawing (if the workbook was loaded) or (2) to the last sheet of the workbook. This has now been fixed. Adding mschart objects to any worksheet in the workbook is now possible as intended. 458
Really fix double xml escaping when saving. 467
Improving the drawing logic. There are some workbooks with various drawings per sheet and previously there were combinations possible that were not reflecting this. 478
Provide rvg support via
wb_add_drawing(). This allows integrating rvg
plots into xlsx files. 449
Improve print options. Defaults to printing grid lines, if the worksheet contains grid lines. 440
Support reading files with form control. 426
Handle input files with chart extensions. 443
Improve writing styles to workbook. Previously every cell was checked, this has been changed to check unique styles. 423
Implement reading custom file properties. 418
Improved add_named_region(). This function includes
now various xml options. 386
Add … as argument to read_xlsx() and
wb_read(). 381
Allow reading files with xml namespace created by third party software. 405
Update or remove calculation chain when overwriting formulas in a workbook. 438
Fix double xml escaping when saving. 435
Minor tweak for POSIXct dates and try to avoid the notorious 29Feb1900. 424
Implement reading customXml folder for input files
with connection. 419
Fixed saving files with <sheetPr/> tag.
Previously this was wrapped in a second sheetPr node. This
issue occurs with xlsm files only. 417
Fixed a case where embedded files were assigned incorrectly in worksheet relationships. This caused corrupted output. 403
Remove merge_ functions for styles. 450
Previously if a loaded workbook contained formulas pointing to
cells modified by openxlsx2, these formulas were not
updated, once the workbook was opened in spreadsheet software. This is
now enforced, unless the option
openxlsx2.disableFullCalcOnLoad is set. In this case we
would respect the original calculation properties of the
workbook.
wb_save() no longer returns the path
that the object was saved to, but instead the wbWorkbook
object, invisibly. This is consistent with the behavior of others
wrappers. 378
Remove never used all.equal.wbWorkbook(). The idea
was nice, but it never developed into something useful.
Remove never used wb_chart_sheet() function. 399
set_sheetview() in sheets. Can be used to
provide a wbWorkbook function and wrapper in the future. 399Functions adding data to a workbook now bring an
applyCellStyle argument. If this is TRUE
openxlsx2 will apply a numeric style, if FALSE
we will simply add the numeric value without additional styling and use
the previous cell style. 365
Reading from file or workbook with showFormula now
returns all formulas found in the workbook. Previously only those with
type e or str were returned. Now we will be
able to see formulas like hyperlinks too. 352
Moved data validation list from x14 to data validation. This enables data validation lists without x14 extension openxlsx 386. 347
Removed build_cell_merges() and replaced it with a
plain R solution. 390
Improvements to setting column widths. Previously values set by
set_col_widths() were a little off. This has now been
improved. There are still corner cases where the column width set with
openxlsx2 does not match those shown in spreadsheet
software. Notable differences can be seen with floating point values
(e.g., 10L works while 10.1 is slightly off)
and with column width on Mac. 350
Improve rowNames when writing data to worksheet.
Previously the name for the rownames column defaulted to 1.
This has been changed. Now with data it defaults to an empty cell and
with a data table it defaults to _rowNames_. 375
Fix the workbook xml relationship file to not include a reference
to shared strings per default. This solves 360 for
plain data files written from openxlsx2. 363
Adding cell styles has been streamlined to increase consistency.
This includes all style functions like wb_add_font() and
covers all cases of hyperlinks. 365
Fix cloning pivot charts. 361
Fix loading and writing files with slicers. Loading would add a
few empty slicer xml files to Content_Types and
workbook.xml.rels. 361
Align the logic for writing data to empty worksheets and
updating/writing to worksheets with data. This removes
update_cell_loop() and changes how
update_cell() behaves. Not only does this remove duplicated
code, it also brings great speed improvements (issue 356). 356
It is now possible to use special characters in formulas without
coding. Previously & had to be encoded like
& 251
Previously deprecated names.wbWorkbook() and
names<-.wbWorkbook() have been removed. 367
Conditional style defaults for create_dxfs_style()
have changed to be more permissive. Previously we shipped a default
font, default font size and font color. This has been changed to better
reflect a behavior the user expects. 343
New argument startCol in read to data frame
functions wb_to_df(), wb_read() and
read_xlsx(). 330
New function wb_colour() to ease working with colour
vectors used in openxlsx2 styles. 292
Deprecated get_cell_style() and
set_cell_style() in favor of newly introduced wrapper
functions wb_get_cell_style() and
wb_set_cell_style(). 306
Improvements to wb_clone_worksheet(). Cloning of
chartsheets as well as worksheets containing charts, pivot tables,
drawings and tables is now possible or tweaked. Slicers are removed from
the cloned worksheet. 305
Allow writing class data.table. 313
Provide na.numbers for reading functions, that
convert numbers to NA in R output. Handle
na.strings in write_xlsx(). 301
Add new option to add sparklines with various style options to
worksheets: wb_add_sparklines(). Sparklines can be created
with create_sparklines(). The manual page contains an
example. 280
Add new options to data validation. allow type custom, add
arguments errorStyle, errorTitle,
error, promptTitle, prompt. 271
Provide wb_clone_sheet_style(). This improves upon
the now deprecatedcloneSheetStyle() that existed as an
early draft. 233
wb$add_data() now checks earlier for missing
x argument. 246
Worksheets added to a wbWorkbook no longer contain
default references to the drawings and
vmlDrawings directories. Previously, these references were
added as rId1 and rId2 even if the worksheet
did not contain any drawing (e.g., an image or a chart) or vml drawing
(e.g., a comment or a button). In such cases certain third party
software, strictly following the references in worksheet or
Content_Types complained about missing files and the import
of such files failed completely. 311
Implement loading of user defined chartShapes. Previously this was not implemented instead the previous logic assumed that every sheet has a matching drawing. With chartShapes this no longer is true. The number of drawings and the number of worksheets/chartsheets must not match. 323
When loading files with charts, they are now imported into the
wbWorkbook object. Previously they were simply copied. This
will allow easier interaction with charts in the future. 304
Moving the data validation code from the workbook to the
worksheet. Also, data_validation_list() is no longer stored
in dataValidationLst. It has been moved to
extLst, fixing a bug when saving and adding another data
validation list. The code for retrieving the date origin from a workbook
has been improved and get_date_origin(wb, origin = TRUE)
now returns the origin as an integer from a wbWorkbook. 299
Removed level4 from XML functions. There was only a single use
case for a level4 function that has been solved differently. If level4
is needed, this can be solved using a level3 and additional level2
functions. In addition xml_nodes now return nodes for all reachable
nestings, therefore xml_node("<a/><a/>", "a")
will now return a character vector of length two. For
xml_node("<a/><b/>", "a") only a single
character vector is returned. 280
Changes to various internal pugixml functions, to improve handling of XML strings. 279
Provide internal helper xml_rm_child() to remove
children of XML strings. 273
Fixes a bug in update_cell() that slowed down
writing on worksheets with data. In addition, this function has been
cleaned up and further improved. It is no longer exported, as users only
need to use wb_add_data() or write_data(),
each of which calls update_cell() under the hood. 275 276
Various (mostly internal) changes to
conditional_formatting. Created style_mgr
integration for dxf (cf-styles) and cleaned up internal
code. The syntax has changed slightly, see conditional
formatting vignette for reference. Add whitespace
argument to read_xml(). 268
wb_to_df(),
wb_read() and read_xls() has changed.Data adding functions now ship a dims argument that
can be used to determine the startCol and
startRow for any x object that is added to the
worksheet. Works with add_data(),
add_data_table(), add_formula() and their
underlying write_ functions as well as with the
wrappers.
Provide optional na.strings argument when writing
data to sheets. It can be used to add a custom character string when
writing numeric data.
Improve writing NA, NaN, and
-Inf/Inf. NA will be converted to
#N/A; NaN will be converted to
#VALUE!; Inf will be converted to
#NUM!. The same conversion is not applied when reading from
a workbook. 256
Many wbWorkbook methods now contain default sheet
values of current_sheet() or next_sheet()
(e.g., $add_worksheet(sheet = next_sheet()),
$write_data(sheet = curret_sheet()). These internal waiver
functions allow the wbWorkbook object to use default
expectations for what sheet to interact with. This allows the easier
workflow of wb$add_worksheet()$add_data(x = data.frame())
where $add_worksheet() knows to add a new worksheet (with a
default name), sets that new worksheet to the current worksheet, and
then $add_data() picks up the new sheet and places the data
there. 165, 179
New functions wb_add_cell_style() and
wb$add_cell_style() to simplify the creation of cell styles
for cells on the sheet. This provides a fast way to create cell styles
for regions on the worksheet. The cells for which the cell format is to
be created must already exist on the worksheet. If the cells already
contain a cell format, it will be preserved, except for the updated cell
format entries, which will always be created. The function is applied to
a continuous cell of the worksheet. 230
New functions wb_add_numfmt() and
wb$add_numfmt() to simplify the creation of number formats
for cells on the sheet. This provides a fast way to create number
formats for regions on the worksheet. The cells for which the number
format is to be created must already exist on the worksheet. If the
cells already contain a cell style, it will be preserved, except for the
number format, which will always be created. The function is applied to
a continuous cell of the worksheet. 229
New functions wb_add_font() and
wb$add_font() to simplify the creation of fonts for cells
on the sheet. This provides a fast way to create fonts for regions on
the worksheet. The cells for which the font is to be created must
already exist on the worksheet. If the cells already contain a cell
style, it will be preserved, except for the font, which will always be
created. The function is applied to a continuous cell of the worksheet.
228
New functions wb_add_fill() and
wb$add_fill() to simplify the creation of fills for cells
on the sheet. This provides a fast way to create color filled regions on
the worksheet. The cells for which the fill is to be created must
already exist on the worksheet. If the cells already contain a cell
style, it will be preserved, except for the filled color, which will
always be created. The function is applied to a continuous cell of the
worksheet and allows to change the color of every n-th column or row. 222
New functions wb_add_border() and
wb$add_border() to simplify the creation of borders for
cells on the sheet. This is especially useful when creating surrounding
borders with different border styles for various cells. The cells for
which the border is to be created must already exist on the worksheet.
If the cells already contain a cell style, it will be preserved, except
for the border, which will always be created. The function is applied to
a continuous cell of the worksheet and allows to change the horizontal
and vertical internal border grid independently. 220
Enable reading tables with wb_to_df(). Tables are
handled similar to defined names. 193
Several enhancements have been added for checking and validation worksheet names 165
wbWorkbook$add_worksheet() the provided name is checked for
illegal characters (see note in Breaking changes)wbWorkbook$get_sheet_names()
(wb_get_sheet_names() wrapper) added. These return both the
formatted and original sheet nameswbWorkbook$set_sheet_names()
(wb_set_sheet_names()) added
names.wbWorkbook() and
names<-.wbWorkbook() deprecatedwbWorkbook$setSheetName() deprecatedclean_worksheet_names() added to support removing
characters that are not allowed in worksheet namesVarious fixes to enable handling of non unicode R environments 243
Fix an issue with broken pageSetup reference causing corrupt excel files 216
Fix reading and writing comments from workbooks that already provide comments 209
Fix an issue with broken xml in Excels vml files and enable
opening xlsm files with wb$open() 202
Instruct parser to import nodes with whitespaces. This fixes a complaint in spreadsheet software. 189
Remove reference to printerSettings.bin when
loading. This binary blob is not included and the reference caused file
corruption warnings. 185
Fix loading and writing xlsx files with with
workbook$extLst. Previously if the loaded sheet contains a
slicer, a second extLst was added which confused
spreadsheet software. Now both are combined into a single node.
Fix writing xlsx file with multiple entries of conditional formatting type databar on any sheet. 174
Cell fields cm, ph and vm are now implemented for reading and writing. This is the first step to handle functions that use metadata. 173
wbWorkbook: $open() no longer
overwrites the $path field to the temporary file 171
xl_open() works (better) on Windows 170
When writing to existing workbooks, the default value for
removeCellStyle is now FALSE. Therefore if a
cell contains a style, it is attempted to replace the value, but not the
style of the cell itself.
wb_conditional_formatting() is deprecated in favor
of wb_add_conditional_formatting() and
wbWorkbook$add_conditional_formatting().
type must now match exactly one of:
"expression", "colorScale",
"dataBar", "duplicatedValues",
"containsText", "notContainsText",
"beginsWith", "endsWith",
"between", "topN", "bottomN"Assigning a new worksheet with an illegal character now prompts
an error 165. See
?clean_worksheet_name for an easy method of replacing bad
characters.
openxlsx2Coerce() (which was called on
x objects when adding data to a workbook) has been removed.
Users can no longer pass some arbitrary objects and will need to format
these objects appropriately or rely on as.data.frame
methods 167
xl_open(file = ) is no longer valid and will throw a
warning; first argument has been changes to x to highlight
that xl_open() can be called on a file path or a
wbWorkbook object 171
Remove wb$createFontNode() which was never
used.
Switch to modern xlsx template, when creating workbooks. Imported workbooks will use the imported template
Rewrite wb$tables to use a data frame approach. This
simplifies the code a bit and makes it easier to implement more upcoming
changes 191
Update of internal pugixml library
The two functions write_data() and
write_datatable() now use the same internal function
write_data_table() to add data to the sheet. This
simplifies the code and ensures that both functions are tested. In the
same pull request, the documentation has been updated and the
stack= option, which was not present before, has been
removed 175
wbWorkbook$validate_sheet() added as an object
methods
private wbWorkbook field
original_sheet_names added to track the original names
passed to sheets
private $get_sheet() removed in favor of more
explicit
