    New Features!

    Contributions

    Contributions are very welcome! It helps me know what features are desired or what bugs are causing the most pain.

    I have just one request; If you submit a pull request for a bugfix, please add a unit-test or integration-test (in the spec folder) that catches the problem. Even a PR that just has a failing test is fine - I can analyse what the test is doing and fix the code from that.

    Note: Please try to avoid modifying the package version in a PR. Versions are updated on release and any change will most likely result in merge collisions.

    To be clear, all contributions added to this library will be included in the library’s MIT licence.

    Let’s chat together:

    Contents

    Importing⬆

    const ExcelJS = require('exceljs');

    ES5 Imports⬆

    To use the ES5 transpiled code, for example for node.js versions older than 10, use the dist/es5 path.

    const ExcelJS = require('exceljs/dist/es5');

    Note: The ES5 build has an implicit dependency on a number of polyfills which are no longer explicitly added by exceljs. You will need to add “core-js” and “regenerator-runtime” to your dependencies and include the following requires in your code before the exceljs import:

    // polyfills required by exceljs
require('core-js/modules/es.promise');
require('core-js/modules/es.string.includes');
require('core-js/modules/es.object.assign');
require('core-js/modules/es.object.keys');
require('core-js/modules/es.symbol');
require('core-js/modules/es.symbol.async-iterator');
require('regenerator-runtime/runtime');

const ExcelJS = require('exceljs/dist/es5');

    For IE 11, you’ll also need a polyfill to support unicode regex patterns. For example,

    const rewritePattern = require('regexpu-core');
const {generateRegexpuOptions} = require('@babel/helper-create-regexp-features-plugin/lib/util');

const {RegExp} = global;
try {
  new RegExp('a', 'u');
} catch (err) {
  global.RegExp = function(pattern, flags) {
    if (flags && flags.includes('u')) {
      return new RegExp(rewritePattern(pattern, flags, generateRegexpuOptions({flags, pattern})));
    }
    return new RegExp(pattern, flags);
  };
  global.RegExp.prototype = RegExp.prototype;
}

    Browserify⬆

    ExcelJS publishes two browserified bundles inside the dist/ folder:

    One with implicit dependencies on core-js polyfills…

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-polyfill/6.26.0/polyfill.js"></script>
<script src="exceljs.js"></script>

    And one without…

    <script src="--your-project's-pollyfills-here--"></script>
<script src="exceljs.bare.js"></script>

    Interface⬆

    Create a Workbook⬆

    const workbook = new ExcelJS.Workbook();

    Set Workbook Properties⬆

    workbook.creator = 'Me';
workbook.lastModifiedBy = 'Her';
workbook.created = new Date(1985, 8, 30);
workbook.modified = new Date();
workbook.lastPrinted = new Date(2016, 9, 27);

    // Set workbook dates to 1904 date system
workbook.properties.date1904 = true;

    Set Calculation Properties⬆

    // Force workbook calculation on load
workbook.calcProperties.fullCalcOnLoad = true;

    Workbook Views⬆

    The Workbook views controls how many separate windows Excel will open when viewing the workbook.

    workbook.views = [
  {
    x: 0, y: 0, width: 10000, height: 20000,
    firstSheet: 0, activeTab: 1, visibility: 'visible'
  }
]

    Add a Worksheet⬆

    const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('My Sheet');

    Use the second parameter of the addWorksheet function to specify options for the worksheet.

    For Example:

    // create a sheet with red tab colour
const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('My Sheet', {properties:{tabColor:{argb:'FFC0000'}}});

// create a sheet where the grid lines are hidden
const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('My Sheet', {views: [{showGridLines: false}]});

// create a sheet with the first row and column frozen
const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('My Sheet', {views:[{state: 'frozen', xSplit: 1, ySplit:1}]});

// Create worksheets with headers and footers
const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('My Sheet', {
  headerFooter:{firstHeader: "Hello Exceljs", firstFooter: "Hello World"}
});

// create new sheet with pageSetup settings for A4 - landscape
const worksheet =  workbook.addWorksheet('My Sheet', {
  pageSetup:{paperSize: 9, orientation:'landscape'}
});

    Remove a Worksheet⬆

    Use the worksheet id to remove the sheet from workbook.

    For Example:

    // Create a worksheet
const sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('My Sheet');

// Remove the worksheet using worksheet id
workbook.removeWorksheet(sheet.id)

    Access Worksheets⬆

    // Iterate over all sheets
// Note: workbook.worksheets.forEach will still work but this is better
workbook.eachSheet(function(worksheet, sheetId) {
  // ...
});

// fetch sheet by name
const worksheet = workbook.getWorksheet('My Sheet');

// fetch sheet by id
// INFO: Be careful when using it!
// It tries to access to `worksheet.id` field. Sometimes (really very often) workbook has worksheets with id not starting from 1.
// For instance It happens when any worksheet has been deleted.
// It's much more safety when you assume that ids are random. And stop to use this function.
// If you need to access all worksheets in a loop please look to the next example.
const worksheet = workbook.getWorksheet(1);

// access by `worksheets` array:
workbook.worksheets[0]; //the first one;

    It’s important to know that workbook.getWorksheet(1) != Workbook.worksheets[0] and workbook.getWorksheet(1) != Workbook.worksheets[1], because workbook.worksheets[0].id may have any value.

    Worksheet State⬆

    // make worksheet visible
worksheet.state = 'visible';

// make worksheet hidden
worksheet.state = 'hidden';

// make worksheet hidden from 'hide/unhide' dialog
worksheet.state = 'veryHidden';

    Worksheet Properties⬆

    Worksheets support a property bucket to allow control over some features of the worksheet.

    // create new sheet with properties
const worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet('sheet', {properties:{tabColor:{argb:'FF00FF00'}}});

// create a new sheet writer with properties
const worksheetWriter = workbookWriter.addWorksheet('sheet', {properties:{outlineLevelCol:1}});

// adjust properties afterwards (not supported by worksheet-writer)
worksheet.properties.outlineLevelCol = 2;
worksheet.properties.defaultRowHeight = 15;

    Supported Properties

    Name Default Description
    tabColor undefined Color of the tabs
    outlineLevelCol 0 The worksheet column outline level
    outlineLevelRow 0 The worksheet row outline level
    defaultRowHeight 15 Default row height
    defaultColWidth (optional) Default column width
    dyDescent 55 TBD

    Worksheet Metrics⬆

    Some new metrics have been added to Worksheet…

    Name Description
    rowCount The total row size of the document. Equal to the row number of the last row that has values.
    actualRowCount A count of the number of rows that have values. If a mid-document row is empty, it will not be included in the count.
    columnCount The total column size of the document. Equal to the maximum cell count from all of the rows
    actualColumnCount A count of the number of columns that have values.

    Page Setup⬆

    All properties that can affect the printing of a sheet are held in a pageSetup object on the sheet.

    // create new sheet with pageSetup settings for A4 - landscape
const worksheet =  workbook.addWorksheet('sheet', {
  pageSetup:{paperSize: 9, orientation:'landscape'}
});

// create a new sheet writer with pageSetup settings for fit-to-page
const worksheetWriter = workbookWriter.addWorksheet('sheet', {
  pageSetup:{fitToPage: true, fitToHeight: 5, fitToWidth: 7}
});

// adjust pageSetup settings afterwards
worksheet.pageSetup.margins = {
  left: 0.7, right: 0.7,
  top: 0.75, bottom: 0.75,
  header: 0.3, footer: 0.3
};

// Set Print Area for a sheet
worksheet.pageSetup.printArea = 'A1:G20';

// Set multiple Print Areas by separating print areas with '&&'
worksheet.pageSetup.printArea = 'A1:G10&&A11:G20';

// Repeat specific rows on every printed page
worksheet.pageSetup.printTitlesRow = '1:3';

// Repeat specific columns on every printed page
worksheet.pageSetup.printTitlesColumn = 'A:C';

    Headers and Footers⬆

    Here’s how to add headers and footers. The added content is mainly text, such as time, introduction, file information, etc., and you can set the style of the text. In addition, you can set different texts for the first page and even page.

    Note: Images are not currently supported.

    
// Create worksheets with headers and footers
var sheet = workbook.addWorksheet('sheet', {
  headerFooter:{firstHeader: "Hello Exceljs", firstFooter: "Hello World"}
});
// Create worksheets with headers and footers
var worksheetWriter = workbookWriter.addWorksheet('sheet', {
  headerFooter:{firstHeader: "Hello Exceljs", firstFooter: "Hello World"}
});
// Set footer (default centered), result: "Page 2 of 16"
worksheet.headerFooter.oddFooter = "Page &P of &N";

// Set the footer (default centered) to bold, resulting in: "Page 2 of 16"
worksheet.headerFooter.oddFooter = "Page &P of &N";

// Set the left footer to 18px and italicize. Result: "Page 2 of 16"
worksheet.headerFooter.oddFooter = "&LPage &P of &N";

// Set the middle header to gray Aril, the result: "52 exceljs"
worksheet.headerFooter.oddHeader = "&C&KCCCCCC&\"Aril\"52 exceljs";

// Set the left, center, and right text of the footer. Result: “Exceljs” in the footer left. “demo.xlsx” in the footer center. “Page 2” in the footer right
worksheet.headerFooter.oddFooter = "&Lexceljs&C&F&RPage &P";

// Add different header & footer for the first page
worksheet.headerFooter.differentFirst = true;
worksheet.headerFooter.firstHeader = "Hello Exceljs";
worksheet.headerFooter.firstFooter = "Hello World"

    Supported headerFooter settings

    Name Default Description
    differentFirst false Set the value of differentFirst as true, which indicates that headers/footers for first page are different from the other pages
    differentOddEven false Set the value of differentOddEven as true, which indicates that headers/footers for odd and even pages are different
    oddHeader null Set header string for odd(default) pages, could format the string

    Worksheet Views⬆

    Worksheets now support a list of views, that control how Excel presents the sheet:

    • frozen - where a number of rows and columns to the top and left are frozen in place. Only the bottom right section will scroll
    • split - where the view is split into 4 sections, each semi-independently scrollable.

    Each view also supports various properties:

    Name Default Description
    state ‘normal’ Controls the view state - one of normal, frozen or split
    rightToLeft false Sets the worksheet view’s orientation to right-to-left
    activeCell undefined The currently selected cell
    showRuler true Shows or hides the ruler in Page Layout
    showRowColHeaders true Shows or hides the row and column headers (e.g. A1, B1 at the top and 1,2,3 on the left
    showGridLines true Shows or hides the gridlines (shown for cells where borders have not been defined)
    zoomScale 100 Percentage zoom to use for the view
    zoomScaleNormal 100 Normal zoom for the view
    style undefined Presentation style - one of pageBreakPreview or pageLayout. Note pageLayout is not compatible with frozen views

    Frozen Views⬆

    Frozen views support the following extra properties:

    Name Default Description
    xSplit 0 How many columns to freeze. To freeze rows only, set this to 0 or undefined
    ySplit 0 How many rows to freeze. To freeze columns only, set this to 0 or undefined
    topLeftCell special Which cell will be top-left in the bottom-right pane. Note: cannot be a frozen cell. Defaults to first unfrozen cell
    worksheet.views = [
  {state: 'frozen', xSplit: 2, ySplit: 3, topLeftCell: 'G10', activeCell: 'A1'}
];

    Split Views⬆

    Split views support the following extra properties:

    Name Default Description
    xSplit 0 How many points from the left to place the splitter. To split vertically, set this to 0 or undefined
    ySplit 0 How many points from the top to place the splitter. To split horizontally, set this to 0 or undefined
    topLeftCell undefined Which cell will be top-left in the bottom-right pane.
    activePane undefined Which pane will be active - one of topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft and bottomRight
    worksheet.views = [
  {state: 'split', xSplit: 2000, ySplit: 3000, topLeftCell: 'G10', activeCell: 'A1'}
];

    Auto filters⬆

    It is possible to apply an auto filter to your worksheet.

    worksheet.autoFilter = 'A1:C1';

    While the range string is the standard form of the autoFilter, the worksheet will also support the following values:

    // Set an auto filter from A1 to C1
worksheet.autoFilter = {
  from: 'A1',
  to: 'C1',
}

// Set an auto filter from the cell in row 3 and column 1
// to the cell in row 5 and column 12
worksheet.autoFilter = {
  from: {
    row: 3,
    column: 1
  },
  to: {
    row: 5,
    column: 12
  }
}

// Set an auto filter from D3 to the
// cell in row 7 and column 5
worksheet.autoFilter = {
  from: 'D3',
  to: {
    row: 7,
    column: 5
  }
}

    Columns⬆

    // Add column headers and define column keys and widths
// Note: these column structures are a workbook-building convenience only,
// apart from the column width, they will not be fully persisted.
worksheet.columns = [
  { header: 'Id', key: 'id', width: 10 },
  { header: 'Name', key: 'name', width: 32 },
  { header: 'D.O.B.', key: 'DOB', width: 10, outlineLevel: 1 }
];

// Access an individual columns by key, letter and 1-based column number
const idCol = worksheet.getColumn('id');
const nameCol = worksheet.getColumn('B');
const dobCol = worksheet.getColumn(3);

// set column properties

// Note: will overwrite cell value C1
dobCol.header = 'Date of Birth';

// Note: this will overwrite cell values C1:C2
dobCol.header = ['Date of Birth', 'A.K.A. D.O.B.'];

// from this point on, this column will be indexed by 'dob' and not 'DOB'
dobCol.key = 'dob';

dobCol.width = 15;

// Hide the column if you'd like
dobCol.hidden = true;

// set an outline level for columns
worksheet.getColumn(4).outlineLevel = 0;
worksheet.getColumn(5).outlineLevel = 1;

// columns support a readonly field to indicate the collapsed state based on outlineLevel
expect(worksheet.getColumn(4).collapsed).to.equal(false);
expect(worksheet.getColumn(5).collapsed).to.equal(true);

// iterate over all current cells in this column
dobCol.eachCell(function(cell, rowNumber) {
  // ...
});

// iterate over all current cells in this column including empty cells
dobCol.eachCell({ includeEmpty: true }, function(cell, rowNumber) {
  // ...
});

// add a column of new values
worksheet.getColumn(6).values = [1,2,3,4,5];

// add a sparse column of values
worksheet.getColumn(7).values = [,,2,3,,5,,7,,,,11];

// cut one or more columns (columns to the right are shifted left)
// If column properties have been defined, they will be cut or moved accordingly
// Known Issue: If a splice causes any merged cells to move, the results may be unpredictable
worksheet.spliceColumns(3,2);

// remove one column and insert two more.
// Note: columns 4 and above will be shifted right by 1 column.
// Also: If the worksheet has more rows than values in the column inserts,
//  the rows will still be shifted as if the values existed
const newCol3Values = [1,2,3,4,5];
const newCol4Values = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five'];
worksheet.spliceColumns(3, 1, newCol3Values, newCol4Values);

    Rows⬆

    // Get a row object. If it doesn't already exist, a new empty one will be returned
const row = worksheet.getRow(5);

// Get multiple row objects. If it doesn't already exist, new empty ones will be returned
const rows = worksheet.getRows(5, 2); // start, length (>0, else undefined is returned)

// Get the last editable row in a worksheet (or undefined if there are none)
const row = worksheet.lastRow;

// Set a specific row height
row.height = 42.5;

// make row hidden
row.hidden = true;

// set an outline level for rows
worksheet.getRow(4).outlineLevel = 0;
worksheet.getRow(5).outlineLevel = 1;

// These new rows will have same style as row on top of it
// And return them as array of row objects
const insertedRowsInherited = worksheet.insertRows(1, rows, 'i');

// Insert an array of rows, keeping original style
// These new rows will have same style as it was previously in 'pos' position
const insertedRowsOriginal = worksheet.insertRows(1, rows, 'o');
    Parameter Description Default Value
    pos Row number where you want to insert, pushing down all rows from there
    value/s The new row/s values
    style ‘i’ for inherit from row above, , ‘i+’ to include empty cells, ‘o’ for original style, ‘o+’ to include empty cells, ‘n’ for none ‘n’

    Splice⬆

    // Cut one or more rows (rows below are shifted up)
// Known Issue: If a splice causes any merged cells to move, the results may be unpredictable
worksheet.spliceRows(4, 3);

// remove one row and insert two more.
// Note: rows 4 and below will be shifted down by 1 row.
const newRow3Values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const newRow4Values = ['one', 'two', 'three', 'four', 'five'];
worksheet.spliceRows(3, 1, newRow3Values, newRow4Values);

// Cut one or more cells (cells to the right are shifted left)
// Note: this operation will not affect other rows
row.splice(3, 2);

// remove one cell and insert two more (cells to the right of the cut cell will be shifted right)
row.splice(4, 1, 'new value 1', 'new value 2');
    Parameter Description Default Value
    start Starting point to splice from
    count Number of rows/cells to remove
    …inserts New row/cell values to insert

    Duplicate a Row⬆

    duplicateRow(start, amount = 1, insert = true)

const wb = new ExcelJS.Workbook();
const ws = wb.addWorksheet('duplicateTest');
ws.getCell('A1').value = 'One';
ws.getCell('A2').value = 'Two';
ws.getCell('A3').value = 'Three';
ws.getCell('A4').value = 'Four';

// This line will duplicate the row 'One' twice but it will replace rows 'Two' and 'Three'
// if third param was true so it would insert 2 new rows with the values and styles of row 'One'
ws.duplicateRow(1,2,false);
    Parameter Description Default Value
    start Row number you want to duplicate (first in excel is 1)
    amount The times you want to duplicate the row 1
    insert true if you want to insert new rows for the duplicates, or false if you want to replace them true

    Defined Names⬆

    Individual cells (or multiple groups of cells) can have names assigned to them. The names can be used in formulas and data validation (and probably more).

    // assign (or get) a name for a cell (will overwrite any other names that cell had)
worksheet.getCell('A1').name = 'PI';
expect(worksheet.getCell('A1').name).to.equal('PI');

// assign (or get) an array of names for a cell (cells can have more than one name)
worksheet.getCell('A1').names = ['thing1', 'thing2'];
expect(worksheet.getCell('A1').names).to.have.members(['thing1', 'thing2']);

// remove a name from a cell
worksheet.getCell('A1').removeName('thing1');
expect(worksheet.getCell('A1').names).to.have.members(['thing2']);

    Data Validations⬆

    Cells can define what values are valid or not and provide prompting to the user to help guide them.

    Validation types can be one of the following:

    Type Description
    list Define a discrete set of valid values. Excel will offer these in a dropdown for easy entry
    whole The value must be a whole number
    decimal The value must be a decimal number
    textLength The value may be text but the length is controlled
    custom A custom formula controls the valid values

    For types other than list or custom, the following operators affect the validation:

    Operator Description
    between Values must lie between formula results
    notBetween Values must not lie between formula results
    equal Value must equal formula result
    notEqual Value must not equal formula result
    greaterThan Value must be greater than formula result
    lessThan Value must be less than formula result
    greaterThanOrEqual Value must be greater than or equal to formula result
    lessThanOrEqual Value must be less than or equal to formula result
    // Specify list of valid values (One, Two, Three, Four).
// Excel will provide a dropdown with these values.
worksheet.getCell('A1').dataValidation = {
  type: 'list',
  allowBlank: true,
  formulae: ['"One,Two,Three,Four"']
};

// Specify list of valid values from a range.
// Excel will provide a dropdown with these values.
worksheet.getCell('A1').dataValidation = {
  type: 'list',
  allowBlank: true,
  formulae: ['$D$5:$F$5']
};

// Specify Cell must be a whole number that is not 5.
// Show the user an appropriate error message if they get it wrong
worksheet.getCell('A1').dataValidation = {
  type: 'whole',
  operator: 'notEqual',
  showErrorMessage: true,
  formulae: [5],
  errorStyle: 'error',
  errorTitle: 'Five',
  error: 'The value must not be Five'
};

// Specify Cell must be a decimal number between 1.5 and 7.
// Add 'tooltip' to help guid the user
worksheet.getCell('A1').dataValidation = {
  type: 'decimal',
  operator: 'between',
  allowBlank: true,
  showInputMessage: true,
  formulae: [1.5, 7],
  promptTitle: 'Decimal',
  prompt: 'The value must between 1.5 and 7'
};

// Specify Cell must be have a text length less than 15
worksheet.getCell('A1').dataValidation = {
  type: 'textLength',
  operator: 'lessThan',
  showErrorMessage: true,
  allowBlank: true,
  formulae: [15]
};

// Specify Cell must be have be a date before 1st Jan 2016
worksheet.getCell('A1').dataValidation = {
  type: 'date',
  operator: 'lessThan',
  showErrorMessage: true,
  allowBlank: true,
  formulae: [new Date(2016,0,1)]
};

    Cell Comments⬆

    Add old style comment to a cell

    // plain text note
worksheet.getCell('A1').note = 'Hello, ExcelJS!';

// colourful formatted note
ws.getCell('B1').note = {
  texts: [
    {'font': {'size': 12, 'color': {'theme': 0}, 'name': 'Calibri', 'family': 2, 'scheme': 'minor'}, 'text': 'This is '},
    {'font': {'italic': true, 'size': 12, 'color': {'theme': 0}, 'name': 'Calibri', 'scheme': 'minor'}, 'text': 'a'},

    {'font': {'bold': true, 'size': 12, 'color': {'theme': 1}, 'name': 'Calibri', 'family': 2, 'scheme': 'minor'}, 'text': 'format'},
  ],
  margins: {
    insetmode: 'custom',
    inset: [0.25, 0.25, 0.35, 0.35]
  },
  protection: {
    locked: True,
    lockText: False
  },
  editAs: 'twoCells',
};

    Cell Comments Properties⬆

    The following table defines the properties supported by cell comments.

    Field Required Default Value Description
    texts Y The text of the comment
    margins N {} Determines the value of margins for automatic or custom cell comments
    protection N {} Specifying the lock status of objects and object text using protection attributes
    editAs N ‘absolute’ Use the ‘editAs’ attribute to specify how the annotation is anchored to the cell

    Cell Comments Margins

    Determine the page margin setting mode of the cell annotation, automatic or custom mode.

    ws.getCell('B1').note.margins = {
  insetmode: 'custom',
  inset: [0.25, 0.25, 0.35, 0.35]
}

    Supported Margins Properties⬆

    Property Required Default Value Description
    insetmode N ‘auto’ Determines whether comment margins are set automatically and the value is ‘auto’ or ‘custom’
    inset N [0.13, 0.13, 0.25, 0.25] Whitespace on the borders of the comment. Units are centimeter. Direction is left, top, right, bottom

    Note: This inset setting takes effect only when the value of insetmode is ‘custom’.

    Cell Comments Protection

    Specifying the lock status of objects and object text using protection attributes.

    ws.getCell('B1').note.protection = {
  locked: 'False',
  lockText: 'False',
};

    Supported Protection Properties⬆

    Property Required Default Value Description
    locked N ‘True’ This element specifies that the object is locked when the sheet is protected
    lockText N ‘True’ This element specifies that the text of the object is locked

    Note: Locked objects are valid only when the worksheet is protected.

    Cell Comments EditAs⬆

    The cell comments can also have the property ‘editAs’ which will control how the comments is anchored to the cell(s). It can have one of the following values:

    ws.getCell('B1').note.editAs = 'twoCells';
    Value Description
    twoCells It specifies that the size and position of the note varies with cells
    oneCells It specifies that the size of the note is fixed and the position changes with the cell
    absolute This is the default. Comments will not be moved or sized with cells

    Tables⬆

    Tables allow for in-sheet manipulation of tabular data.

    To add a table to a worksheet, define a table model and call addTable:

    // add a table to a sheet
ws.addTable({
  name: 'MyTable',
  ref: 'A1',
  headerRow: true,
  totalsRow: true,
  style: {
    theme: 'TableStyleDark3',
    showRowStripes: true,
  },
  columns: [
    {name: 'Date', totalsRowLabel: 'Totals:', filterButton: true},
    {name: 'Amount', totalsRowFunction: 'sum', filterButton: false},
  ],
  rows: [
    [new Date('2019-07-20'), 70.10],
    [new Date('2019-07-21'), 70.60],
    [new Date('2019-07-22'), 70.10],
  ],
});

    Note: Adding a table to a worksheet will modify the sheet by placing headers and row data to the sheet. Any data on the sheet covered by the resulting table (including headers and totals) will be overwritten.

    Table Properties⬆

    The following table defines the properties supported by tables.

    Table Property Description Required Default Value
    name The name of the table Y
    displayName The display name of the table N name
    ref Top left cell of the table Y
    headerRow Show headers at top of table N true
    totalsRow Show totals at bottom of table N false
    style Extra style properties N {}
    columns Column definitions Y
    rows Rows of data Y

    Table Style Properties⬆

    The following table defines the properties supported within the table style property.

    Style Property Description Required Default Value
    theme The colour theme of the table N ‘TableStyleMedium2’
    showFirstColumn Highlight the first column (bold) N false
    showLastColumn Highlight the last column (bold) N false
    showRowStripes Alternate rows shown with background colour N false
    showColumnStripes Alternate rows shown with background colour N false

    Table Column Properties⬆

    The following table defines the properties supported within each table column.

    Column Property Description Required Default Value
    name The name of the column, also used in the header Y
    filterButton Switches the filter control in the header N false
    totalsRowLabel Label to describe the totals row (first column) N ‘Total’
    totalsRowFunction Name of the totals function N ‘none’
    totalsRowFormula Optional formula for custom functions N

    Totals Functions⬆

    The following table list the valid values for the totalsRowFunction property defined by columns. If any value other than ‘custom’ is used, it is not necessary to include the associated formula as this will be inserted by the table.

    Totals Functions Description
    none No totals function for this column
    average Compute average for the column
    countNums Count the entries that are numbers
    count Count of entries
    max The maximum value in this column
    min The minimum value in this column
    stdDev The standard deviation for this column
    var The variance for this column
    sum The sum of entries for this column
    custom A custom formula. Requires an associated totalsRowFormula value.

    Table Style Themes⬆

    Valid theme names follow the following pattern:

    • “TableStyle[Shade][Number]”

    Shades, Numbers can be one of:

    • Light, 1-21
    • Medium, 1-28
    • Dark, 1-11

    For no theme, use the value null.

    Note: custom table themes are not supported by exceljs yet.

    Modifying Tables⬆

    Tables support a set of manipulation functions that allow data to be added or removed and some properties to be changed. Since many of these operations may have on-sheet effects, the changes must be committed once complete.

    All index values in the table are zero based, so the first row number and first column number is 0.

    Adding or Removing Headers and Totals

    const table = ws.getTable('MyTable');

// turn header row on
table.headerRow = true;

// turn totals row off
table.totalsRow = false;

// commit the table changes into the sheet
table.commit();

    Relocating a Table

    const table = ws.getTable('MyTable');

// table top-left move to D4
table.ref = 'D4';

// commit the table changes into the sheet
table.commit();

    Adding and Removing Rows

    const table = ws.getTable('MyTable');

// remove first two rows
table.removeRows(0, 2);

// insert new rows at index 5
table.addRow([new Date('2019-08-05'), 5, 'Mid'], 5);

// append new row to bottom of table
table.addRow([new Date('2019-08-10'), 10, 'End']);

// commit the table changes into the sheet
table.commit();

    Adding and Removing Columns

    const table = ws.getTable('MyTable');

// remove second column
table.removeColumns(1, 1);

// insert new column (with data) at index 1
table.addColumn(
  {name: 'Letter', totalsRowFunction: 'custom', totalsRowFormula: 'ROW()', totalsRowResult: 6, filterButton: true},
  ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'],
  2
);

// commit the table changes into the sheet
table.commit();

    Change Column Properties

    const table = ws.getTable('MyTable');

// Get Column Wrapper for second column
const column = table.getColumn(1);

// set some properties
column.name = 'Code';
column.filterButton = true;
column.style = {font:{bold: true, name: 'Comic Sans MS'}};
column.totalsRowLabel = 'Totals';
column.totalsRowFunction = 'custom';
column.totalsRowFormula = 'ROW()';
column.totalsRowResult = 10;

// commit the table changes into the sheet
table.commit();

    Styles⬆

    Cells, Rows and Columns each support a rich set of styles and formats that affect how the cells are displayed.

    Styles are set by assigning the following properties:

    // assign a style to a cell
ws.getCell('A1').numFmt = '0.00%';

// Apply styles to worksheet columns
ws.columns = [
  { header: 'Id', key: 'id', width: 10 },
  { header: 'Name', key: 'name', width: 32, style: { font: { name: 'Arial Black' } } },
  { header: 'D.O.B.', key: 'DOB', width: 10, style: { numFmt: 'dd/mm/yyyy' } }
];

// Set Column 3 to Currency Format
ws.getColumn(3).numFmt = '"£"#,##0.00;[Red]\-"£"#,##0.00';

// Set Row 2 to Comic Sans.
ws.getRow(2).font = { name: 'Comic Sans MS', family: 4, size: 16, underline: 'double', bold: true };

    When a style is applied to a row or column, it will be applied to all currently existing cells in that row or column. Also, any new cell that is created will inherit its initial styles from the row and column it belongs to.

    If a cell’s row and column both define a specific style (e.g. font), the cell will use the row style over the column style. However if the row and column define different styles (e.g. column.numFmt and row.font), the cell will inherit the font from the row and the numFmt from the column.

    Caveat: All the above properties (with the exception of numFmt, which is a string), are JS object structures. If the same style object is assigned to more than one spreadsheet entity, then each entity will share the same style object. If the style object is later modified before the spreadsheet is serialized, then all entities referencing that style object will be modified too. This behaviour is intended to prioritize performance by reducing the number of JS objects created. If you want the style objects to be independent, you will need to clone them before assigning them. Also, by default, when a document is read from file (or stream) if spreadsheet entities share similar styles, then they will reference the same style object too.

    Number Formats⬆

    // display value as '1 3/5'
ws.getCell('A1').value = 1.6;
ws.getCell('A1').numFmt = '# ?/?';

// display value as '1.60%'
ws.getCell('B1').value = 0.016;
ws.getCell('B1').numFmt = '0.00%';

    Fonts⬆

    
// for the wannabe graphic designers out there
ws.getCell('A1').font = {
  name: 'Comic Sans MS',
  family: 4,
  size: 16,
  underline: true,
  bold: true
};

// for the graduate graphic designers...
ws.getCell('A2').font = {
  name: 'Arial Black',
  color: { argb: 'FF00FF00' },
  family: 2,
  size: 14,
  italic: true
};

// for the vertical align
ws.getCell('A3').font = {
  vertAlign: 'superscript'
};

// note: the cell will store a reference to the font object assigned.
// If the font object is changed afterwards, the cell font will change also...
const font = { name: 'Arial', size: 12 };
ws.getCell('A3').font = font;
font.size = 20; // Cell A3 now has font size 20!

// Cells that share similar fonts may reference the same font object after
// the workbook is read from file or stream

    // set cell alignment to top-left, middle-center, bottom-right
ws.getCell('A1').alignment = { vertical: 'top', horizontal: 'left' };
ws.getCell('B1').alignment = { vertical: 'middle', horizontal: 'center' };
ws.getCell('C1').alignment = { vertical: 'bottom', horizontal: 'right' };

// set cell to wrap-text
ws.getCell('D1').alignment = { wrapText: true };

// set cell indent to 1
ws.getCell('E1').alignment = { indent: 1 };

// set cell text rotation to 30deg upwards, 45deg downwards and vertical text
ws.getCell('F1').alignment = { textRotation: 30 };
ws.getCell('G1').alignment = { textRotation: -45 };
ws.getCell('H1').alignment = { textRotation: 'vertical' };

ws.getCell('A1').fill = {
  type: 'pattern',
  pattern:'darkVertical',
  fgColor:{argb:'FFFF0000'}
};

// fill A2 with yellow dark trellis and blue behind
ws.getCell('A2').fill = {
  type: 'pattern',
  pattern:'darkTrellis',
  fgColor:{argb:'FFFFFF00'},
  bgColor:{argb:'FF0000FF'}
};

// fill A3 with solid coral
ws.getCell('A3').fill = {

    {position:1, color:{argb:'FF00FF00'}}
  ]
};

    Pattern Fills⬆

    Property Required Description
    type Y Value: ‘pattern’
    Specifies this fill uses patterns
    pattern Y Specifies type of pattern (see Valid Pattern Types below)
    fgColor N Specifies the pattern foreground color. Default is black.
    bgColor N Specifies the pattern background color. Default is white.

    Note: If you want to fill a cell using the solid pattern, then you don’t need to specify bgColor. See example above for cell A3 with a solid pattern and a coral fgColor.

    Valid Pattern Types

    • none
    • solid
    • darkGray
    • mediumGray
    • lightGray
    • gray125
    • gray0625
    • darkHorizontal

    • lightHorizontal
    • lightVertical
    • lightDown
    • lightUp
    • lightGrid
    • lightTrellis

    Gradient Fills⬆

    Property Required Description
    type Y Value: ‘gradient’
    Specifies this fill uses gradients
    gradient Y Specifies gradient type. One of [‘angle’, ‘path’]
    degree angle For ‘angle’ gradient, specifies the direction of the gradient. 0 is from the left to the right. Values from 1 - 359 rotates the direction clockwise
    center path For ‘path’ gradient. Specifies the relative coordinates for the start of the path. ‘left’ and ‘top’ values range from 0 to 1
    stops Y Specifies the gradient colour sequence. Is an array of objects containing position and color starting with position 0 and ending with position 1. Intermediary positions may be used to specify other colours on the path.

    Caveats

    Using the interface above it may be possible to create gradient fill effects not possible using the XLSX editor program. For example, Excel only supports angle gradients of 0, 45, 90 and 135. Similarly the sequence of stops may also be limited by the UI with positions [0,1] or [0,0.5,1] as the only options. Take care with this fill to be sure it is supported by the target XLSX viewers.

    Rich Text⬆

    Individual cells now support rich text or in-cell formatting. Rich text values can control the font properties of any number of sub-strings within the text value. See Fonts for a complete list of details on what font properties are supported.

    
ws.getCell('A1').value = {
  'richText': [
    {'font': {'size': 12,'color': {'theme': 0},'name': 'Calibri','family': 2,'scheme': 'minor'},'text': 'This is '},
    {'font': {'italic': true,'size': 12,'color': {'theme': 0},'name': 'Calibri','scheme': 'minor'},'text': 'a'},
    {'font': {'size': 12,'color': {'theme': 1},'name': 'Calibri','family': 2,'scheme': 'minor'},'text': ' '},
    {'font': {'size': 12,'color': {'argb': 'FFFF6600'},'name': 'Calibri','scheme': 'minor'},'text': 'colorful'},
    {'font': {'size': 12,'color': {'theme': 1},'name': 'Calibri','family': 2,'scheme': 'minor'},'text': ' text '},
    {'font': {'size': 12,'color': {'argb': 'FFCCFFCC'},'name': 'Calibri','scheme': 'minor'},'text': 'with'},
    {'font': {'size': 12,'color': {'theme': 1},'name': 'Calibri','family': 2,'scheme': 'minor'},'text': ' in-cell '},
    {'font': {'bold': true,'size': 12,'color': {'theme': 1},'name': 'Calibri','family': 2,'scheme': 'minor'},'text': 'format'}
  ]
};

expect(ws.getCell('A1').text).to.equal('This is a colorful text with in-cell format');
expect(ws.getCell('A1').type).to.equal(Excel.ValueType.RichText);

    Cell Protection⬆

    Cell level protection can be modified using the protection property.

    ws.getCell('A1').protection = {
  locked: false,
  hidden: true,
};

    Supported Protection Properties

    Property Default Description
    locked true Specifies whether a cell will be locked if the sheet is protected.
    hidden false Specifies whether a cell’s formula will be visible if the sheet is protected.

    Conditional Formatting⬆

    Conditional formatting allows a sheet to show specific styles, icons, etc depending on cell values or any arbitrary formula.

    Conditional formatting rules are added at the sheet level and will typically cover a range of cells.

    Multiple rules can be applied to a given cell range and each rule will apply its own style.

    If multiple rules affect a given cell, the rule priority value will determine which rule wins out if competing styles collide. The rule with the lower priority value wins. If priority values are not specified for a given rule, ExcelJS will assign them in ascending order.

    Note: at present, only a subset of conditional formatting rules are supported. Specifically, only the formatting rules that do not require XML rendering inside an <extLst> element. This means that datasets and three specific icon sets (3Triangles, 3Stars, 5Boxes) are not supported.

    // add a checkerboard pattern to A1:E7 based on row + col being even or odd
worksheet.addConditionalFormatting({
  ref: 'A1:E7',
  rules: [
    {
      type: 'expression',
      formulae: ['MOD(ROW()+COLUMN(),2)=0'],
      style: {fill: {type: 'pattern', pattern: 'solid', bgColor: {argb: 'FF00FF00'}}},
    }
  ]
})

    Outline Levels⬆

    Excel supports outlining; where rows or columns can be expanded or collapsed depending on what level of detail the user wishes to view.

    Outline levels can be defined in column setup:

    worksheet.columns = [
  { header: 'Id', key: 'id', width: 10 },
  { header: 'Name', key: 'name', width: 32 },
  { header: 'D.O.B.', key: 'DOB', width: 10, outlineLevel: 1 }
];

    Or directly on the row or column

    worksheet.getColumn(3).outlineLevel = 1;
worksheet.getRow(3).outlineLevel = 1;

    The sheet outline levels can be set on the worksheet

    // set column outline level
worksheet.properties.outlineLevelCol = 1;

// set row outline level
worksheet.properties.outlineLevelRow = 1;

    Note: adjusting outline levels on rows or columns or the outline levels on the worksheet will incur a side effect of also modifying the collapsed property of all rows or columns affected by the property change. E.g.:

    worksheet.properties.outlineLevelCol = 1;

worksheet.getColumn(3).outlineLevel = 1;
expect(worksheet.getColumn(3).collapsed).to.be.true;

worksheet.properties.outlineLevelCol = 2;
expect(worksheet.getColumn(3).collapsed).to.be.false;

    The outline properties can be set on the worksheet

    worksheet.properties.outlineProperties = {
  summaryBelow: false,
  summaryRight: false,
};

    Images⬆

    Adding images to a worksheet is a two-step process. First, the image is added to the workbook via the addImage() function which will also return an imageId value. Then, using the imageId, the image can be added to the worksheet either as a tiled background or covering a cell range.

    Note: As of this version, adjusting or transforming the image is not supported and images are not supported in streaming mode.

    Add Image to Workbook⬆

    The Workbook.addImage function supports adding images by filename or by Buffer. Note that in both cases, the extension must be specified. Valid extension values include ‘jpeg’, ‘png’, ‘gif’.

    // add image to workbook by filename
const imageId1 = workbook.addImage({
  filename: 'path/to/image.jpg',
  extension: 'jpeg',
});

// add image to workbook by buffer
const imageId2 = workbook.addImage({
  buffer: fs.readFileSync('path/to.image.png'),
  extension: 'png',
});

// add image to workbook by base64
const myBase64Image = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KG...";
const imageId2 = workbook.addImage({
  base64: myBase64Image,
  extension: 'png',
});

    Add image background to worksheet⬆

    Using the image id from Workbook.addImage, the background to a worksheet can be set using the addBackgroundImage function

    // set background
worksheet.addBackgroundImage(imageId1);

    Add image over a range⬆

    Using the image id from Workbook.addImage, an image can be embedded within the worksheet to cover a range. The coordinates calculated from the range will cover from the top-left of the first cell to the bottom right of the second.

    // insert an image over B2:D6
worksheet.addImage(imageId2, 'B2:D6');

    Using a structure instead of a range string, it is possible to partially cover cells.

    Note that the coordinate system used for this is zero based, so the top-left of A1 will be { col: 0, row: 0 }. Fractions of cells can be specified by using floating point numbers, e.g. the midpoint of A1 is { col: 0.5, row: 0.5 }.

    // insert an image over part of B2:D6
worksheet.addImage(imageId2, {
  tl: { col: 1.5, row: 1.5 },
  br: { col: 3.5, row: 5.5 }
});

    The cell range can also have the property ‘editAs’ which will control how the image is anchored to the cell(s) It can have one of the following values:

    Value Description
    undefined It specifies the image will be moved and sized with cells
    oneCell This is the default. Image will be moved with cells but not sized
    absolute Image will not be moved or sized with cells
    ws.addImage(imageId, {
  tl: { col: 0.1125, row: 0.4 },
  br: { col: 2.101046875, row: 3.4 },
  editAs: 'oneCell'
});

    Add image to a cell⬆

    You can add an image to a cell and then define its width and height in pixels at 96dpi.

    worksheet.addImage(imageId2, {
  tl: { col: 0, row: 0 },
  ext: { width: 500, height: 200 }
});

    Add image with hyperlinks⬆

    You can add an image with hyperlinks to a cell, and defines the hyperlinks in image range.

    worksheet.addImage(imageId2, {
  tl: { col: 0, row: 0 },
  ext: { width: 500, height: 200 },
  hyperlinks: {
    hyperlink: 'http://www.somewhere.com',
    tooltip: 'http://www.somewhere.com'
  }
});

    Sheet Protection⬆

    Worksheets can be protected from modification by adding a password.

    await worksheet.protect('the-password', options);

    Worksheet protection can also be removed:

    worksheet.unprotect();

    See Cell Protection for details on how to modify individual cell protection.

    Note: While the protect() function returns a Promise indicating that it is async, the current implementation runs on the main thread and will use approx 600ms on an average CPU. This can be adjusted by setting the spinCount, which can be used to make the process either faster or more resilient.

    Sheet Protection Options⬆

    Field Default Description
    selectLockedCells true Lets the user select locked cells
    selectUnlockedCells true Lets the user select unlocked cells
    formatCells false Lets the user format cells
    formatColumns false Lets the user format columns
    formatRows false Lets the user format rows
    insertRows false Lets the user insert rows
    insertColumns false Lets the user insert columns

};
const worksheet = await workbook.csv.readFile(filename, options);
// ... use workbook or worksheet


// read from a file with custom value parsing
const workbook = new Excel.Workbook();
const options = {
  map(value, index) {
    switch(index) {
      case 0:
        // column 1 is string
        return value;
      case 1:
        // column 2 is a date
        return new Date(value);
      case 2:
        // column 3 is JSON of a formula value
        return JSON.parse(value);
      default:
        // the rest are numbers
        return parseFloat(value);
    }
  },
  // https://c2fo.github.io/fast-csv/docs/parsing/options
  parserOptions: {
    delimiter: '\t',
    quote: false,
  },
};
const worksheet = await workbook.csv.readFile(filename, options);
// ... use workbook or worksheet

    The CSV parser uses fast-csv to read the CSV file. The formatterOptions in the options passed to the above write function will be passed to the @fast-csv/format module to write csv data. Please refer to the fast-csv README.md for details.

    Dates are parsed using the npm module dayjs. If a dateFormats array is not supplied, the following dateFormats are used:

    • ‘YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss’
    • ‘MM-DD-YYYY’
    • ‘YYYY-MM-DD’

    Please refer to the dayjs CustomParseFormat plugin for details on how to structure a dateFormat.

    Writing CSV⬆

    Options supported when writing to a CSV file.

    Field Required Type Description
    dateFormat N String Specify the date encoding format of dayjs.
    dateUTC N Boolean Specify whether ExcelJS uses dayjs.utc () to convert time zone for parsing dates.
    encoding N String Specify file encoding format. (Only applies to .writeFile.)
    includeEmptyRows N Boolean Specifies whether empty rows can be written.
    map N Function Custom Array.prototype.map() callback function for processing row values.
    sheetName N String Specify worksheet name.
    sheetId N Number Specify worksheet ID.

await workbook.csv.writeFile(filename);

// write to a stream
// Be careful that you need to provide sheetName or
// sheetId for correct import to csv.
await workbook.csv.write(stream, { sheetName: 'Page name' });

// write to a file with European Date-Times
const workbook = new Excel.Workbook();
const options = {
  dateFormat: 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss',
  dateUTC: true, // use utc when rendering dates
};
await workbook.csv.writeFile(filename, options);


// write to a file with custom value formatting
const workbook = new Excel.Workbook();
const options = {
  map(value, index) {
    switch(index) {
      case 0:
        // column 1 is string
        return value;
      case 1:
        // column 2 is a date
        return dayjs(value).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
      case 2:
        // column 3 is a formula, write just the result
        return value.result;
      default:
        // the rest are numbers
        return value;
    }
  },
  // https://c2fo.github.io/fast-csv/docs/formatting/options
  formatterOptions: {
    delimiter: '\t',
    quote: false,
  },
};
await workbook.csv.writeFile(filename, options);

// write to a new buffer
const buffer = await workbook.csv.writeBuffer();

    The CSV parser uses fast-csv to write the CSV file. The formatterOptions in the options passed to the above write function will be passed to the @fast-csv/format module to write csv data. Please refer to the fast-csv README.md for details.

    Dates are formatted using the npm module dayjs. If no dateFormat is supplied, dayjs.ISO_8601 is used. When writing a CSV you can supply the boolean dateUTC as true to have ExcelJS parse the date without automatically converting the timezone using dayjs.utc().

    Streaming I/O⬆

    The File I/O documented above requires that an entire workbook is built up in memory before the file can be written. While convenient, it can limit the size of the document due to the amount of memory required.

    A streaming writer (or reader) processes the workbook or worksheet data as it is generated, converting it into file form as it goes. Typically this is much more efficient on memory as the final memory footprint and even intermediate memory footprints are much more compact than with the document version, especially when you consider that the row and cell objects are disposed once they are committed.

    The interface to the streaming workbook and worksheet is almost the same as the document versions with a few minor practical differences:

    • Once a worksheet is added to a workbook, it cannot be removed.
    • Once a row is committed, it is no longer accessible since it will have been dropped from the worksheet.
    • unMergeCells() is not supported.

    Note that it is possible to build the entire workbook without committing any rows. When the workbook is committed, all added worksheets (including all uncommitted rows) will be automatically committed. However in this case, little will have been gained over the Document version.

    Streaming XLSX⬆

    Streaming XLSX Writer(#contents)

    The streaming XLSX workbook writer is available in the ExcelJS.stream.xlsx namespace.

    The constructor takes an optional options object with the following fields:

    Field Description
    stream Specifies a writable stream to write the XLSX workbook to.
    filename If stream not specified, this field specifies the path to a file to write the XLSX workbook to.
    useSharedStrings Specifies whether to use shared strings in the workbook. Default is false.
    useStyles Specifies whether to add style information to the workbook. Styles can add some performance overhead. Default is false.
    zip Zip options that ExcelJS internally passes to Archiver. Default is undefined.

    If neither stream nor filename is specified in the options, the workbook writer will create a StreamBuf object that will store the contents of the XLSX workbook in memory. This StreamBuf object, which can be accessed via the property workbook.stream, can be used to either access the bytes directly by stream.read() or to pipe the contents to another stream.

    // construct a streaming XLSX workbook writer with styles and shared strings
const options = {
  filename: './streamed-workbook.xlsx',
  useStyles: true,
  useSharedStrings: true
};
const workbook = new Excel.stream.xlsx.WorkbookWriter(options);

    In general, the interface to the streaming XLSX writer is the same as the Document workbook (and worksheets) described above, in fact the row, cell and style objects are the same.

    However there are some differences…

    Construction

    As seen above, the WorkbookWriter will typically require the output stream or file to be specified in the constructor.

    Committing Data

    When a worksheet row is ready, it should be committed so that the row object and contents can be freed. Typically this would be done as each row is added…

    worksheet.addRow({
   id: i,
   name: theName,
   etc: someOtherDetail
}).commit();

    The reason the WorksheetWriter does not commit rows as they are added is to allow cells to be merged across rows:

    worksheet.mergeCells('A1:B2');
worksheet.getCell('A1').value = 'I am merged';
worksheet.getCell('C1').value = 'I am not';
worksheet.getCell('C2').value = 'Neither am I';
worksheet.getRow(2).commit(); // now rows 1 and two are committed.

    As each worksheet is completed, it must also be committed:

    // Finished adding data. Commit the worksheet
worksheet.commit();

    To complete the XLSX document, the workbook must be committed. If any worksheet in a workbook are uncommitted, they will be committed automatically as part of the workbook commit.

    // Finished the workbook.
await workbook.commit();
// ... the stream has been written
    Streaming XLSX Reader(#contents)

    The streaming XLSX workbook reader is available in the ExcelJS.stream.xlsx namespace.

    The constructor takes a required input argument and an optional options argument:

    Argument Description
    input (required) Specifies the name of the file or the readable stream from which to read the XLSX workbook.
    options (optional) Specifies how to handle the event types occuring during the read parsing.
    options.entries Specifies whether to emit entries ('emit') or not ('ignore'). Default is 'emit'.
    options.sharedStrings Specifies whether to cache shared strings ('cache'), which inserts them into the respective cell values, or whether to emit them ('emit') or ignore them ('ignore'), in both of which case the cell value will be a reference to the shared string’s index. Default is 'cache'.
    options.hyperlinks Specifies whether to cache hyperlinks ('cache'), which inserts them into their respective cells, whether to emit them ('emit') or whether to ignore them ('ignore'). Default is 'cache'.
    options.styles Specifies whether to cache styles ('cache'), which inserts them into their respective rows and cells, or whether to ignore them ('ignore'). Default is 'cache'.
    options.worksheets Specifies whether to emit worksheets ('emit') or not ('ignore'). Default is 'emit'.
    const workbookReader = new ExcelJS.stream.xlsx.WorkbookReader('./file.xlsx');
for await (const worksheetReader of workbookReader) {
  for await (const row of worksheetReader) {
    // ...
  }
}

    Please note that worksheetReader returns an array of rows rather than each row individually for performance reasons: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/31979

    Iterating over all events(#contents)

    Events on workbook are ‘worksheet’, ‘shared-strings’ and ‘hyperlinks’. Events on worksheet are ‘row’ and ‘hyperlinks’.

    const options = {
  sharedStrings: 'emit',
  hyperlinks: 'emit',
  worksheets: 'emit',
};
const workbook = new ExcelJS.stream.xlsx.WorkbookReader('./file.xlsx', options);
for await (const {eventType, value} of workbook.parse()) {
  switch (eventType) {
    case 'shared-strings':
      // value is the shared string
    case 'worksheet':
      // value is the worksheetReader
    case 'hyperlinks':
      // value is the hyperlinksReader
  }
}
    Readable stream(#contents)

    While we strongly encourage to use async iteration, we also expose a streaming interface for backwards compatibility.

    const options = {
  sharedStrings: 'emit',
  hyperlinks: 'emit',
  worksheets: 'emit',
};
const workbookReader = new ExcelJS.stream.xlsx.WorkbookReader('./file.xlsx', options);
workbookReader.read();

workbookReader.on('worksheet', worksheet => {
  worksheet.on('row', row => {
  });
});

workbookReader.on('shared-strings', sharedString => {
  // ...
});

workbookReader.on('hyperlinks', hyperlinksReader => {
  // ...
});

workbookReader.on('end', () => {
  // ...
});
workbookReader.on('error', (err) => {
  // ...
});

    Browser⬆

    A portion of this library has been isolated and tested for use within a browser environment.

    Due to the streaming nature of the workbook reader and workbook writer, these have not been included. Only the document based workbook may be used (see Create a Workbook for details).

    For example code using ExcelJS in the browser take a look at the spec/browser folder in the github repo.

    Prebundled⬆

    The following files are pre-bundled and included inside the dist folder.

    • exceljs.js
    • exceljs.min.js

    Value Types⬆

    The following value types are supported.

    Null Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Null

    A null value indicates an absence of value and will typically not be stored when written to file (except for merged cells). It can be used to remove the value from a cell.

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A1').value = null;

    Merge Cell⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Merge

    A merge cell is one that has its value bound to another ‘master’ cell. Assigning to a merge cell will cause the master’s cell to be modified.

    Number Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Number

    A numeric value.

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A1').value = 5;
worksheet.getCell('A2').value = 3.14159;

    String Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.String

    A simple text string.

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A1').value = 'Hello, World!';

    Date Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Date

    A date value, represented by the JavaScript Date type.

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A1').value = new Date(2017, 2, 15);

    Hyperlink Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Hyperlink

    A URL with both text and link value.

    E.g.

    // link to web
worksheet.getCell('A1').value = {
  text: 'www.mylink.com',
  hyperlink: 'http://www.mylink.com',
  tooltip: 'www.mylink.com'
};

// internal link
worksheet.getCell('A1').value = { text: 'Sheet2', hyperlink: '#\'Sheet2\'!A1' };

    Formula Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Formula

    An Excel formula for calculating values on the fly. Note that while the cell type will be Formula, the cell may have an effectiveType value that will be derived from the result value.

    Note that ExcelJS cannot process the formula to generate a result, it must be supplied.

    Note that function semantic names must be in English and the separator must be a comma.

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A3').value = { formula: 'A1+A2', result: 7 };
worksheet.getCell('A3').value = { formula: 'SUM(A1,A2)', result: 7 };

    Cells also support convenience getters to access the formula and result:

    worksheet.getCell('A3').formula === 'A1+A2';
worksheet.getCell('A3').result === 7;

    Shared Formula⬆

    Shared formulae enhance the compression of the xlsx document by decreasing the repetition of text within the worksheet xml. The top-left cell in a range is the designated master and will hold the formula that all the other cells in the range will derive from. The other ‘slave’ cells can then refer to this master cell instead of redefining the whole formula again. Note that the master formula will be translated to the slave cells in the usual Excel fashion so that references to other cells will be shifted down and to the right depending on the slave’s offset to the master. For example: if the master cell A2 has a formula referencing A1 then if cell B2 shares A2’s formula, then it will reference B1.

    A master formula can be assigned to a cell along with the slave cells in its range

    worksheet.getCell('A2').value = {
  formula: 'A1',
  result: 10,
  shareType: 'shared',
  ref: 'A2:B3'
};

    A shared formula can be assigned to a cell using a new value form:

    worksheet.getCell('B2').value = { sharedFormula: 'A2', result: 10 };

    This specifies that the cell B2 is a formula that will be derived from the formula in A2 and its result is 10.

    The formula convenience getter will translate the formula in A2 to what it should be in B2:

    expect(worksheet.getCell('B2').formula).to.equal('B1');

    Shared formulae can be assigned into a sheet using the ‘fillFormula’ function:

    // set A1 to starting number
worksheet.getCell('A1').value = 1;

// fill A2 to A10 with ascending count starting from A1
worksheet.fillFormula('A2:A10', 'A1+1', [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]);

    fillFormula can also use a callback function to calculate the value at each cell

    // fill A2 to A100 with ascending count starting from A1
worksheet.fillFormula('A2:A100', 'A1+1', (row, col) => row);

    Formula Type⬆

    To distinguish between real and translated formula cells, use the formulaType getter:

    worksheet.getCell('A3').formulaType === Enums.FormulaType.Master;
worksheet.getCell('B3').formulaType === Enums.FormulaType.Shared;

    Formula type has the following values:

    Name Value
    Enums.FormulaType.None 0
    Enums.FormulaType.Master 1
    Enums.FormulaType.Shared 2

    Array Formula⬆

    A new way of expressing shared formulae in Excel is the array formula. In this form, the master cell is the only cell that contains any information relating to a formula. It contains the shareType ‘array’ along with the range of cells it applies to and the formula that will be copied. The rest of the cells are regular cells with regular values.

    Note: array formulae are not translated in the way shared formulae are. So if master cell A2 refers to A1, then slave cell B2 will also refer to A1.

    E.g.

    // assign array formula to A2:B3
worksheet.getCell('A2').value = {
  formula: 'A1',
  result: 10,
  shareType: 'array',
  ref: 'A2:B3'
};

// it may not be necessary to fill the rest of the values in the sheet

    The fillFormula function can also be used to fill an array formula

    // fill A2:B3 with array formula "A1"
worksheet.fillFormula('A2:B3', 'A1', [1,1,1,1], 'array');

    Rich Text Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.RichText

    Rich, styled text.

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A1').value = {
  richText: [
    { text: 'This is '},
    {font: {italic: true}, text: 'italic'},
  ]
};

    Boolean Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Boolean

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A1').value = true;
worksheet.getCell('A2').value = false;

    Error Value⬆

    Enum: Excel.ValueType.Error

    E.g.

    worksheet.getCell('A1').value = { error: '#N/A' };
worksheet.getCell('A2').value = { error: '#VALUE!' };

    The current valid Error text values are:

    Name Value
    Excel.ErrorValue.NotApplicable #N/A
    Excel.ErrorValue.Ref #REF!
    Excel.ErrorValue.Name #NAME?
    Excel.ErrorValue.DivZero #DIV/0!
    Excel.ErrorValue.Null #NULL!
    Excel.ErrorValue.Value #VALUE!
    Excel.ErrorValue.Num #NUM!

    Interface Changes⬆

    Every effort is made to make a good consistent interface that doesn’t break through the versions but regrettably, now and then some things have to change for the greater good.

    0.1.0⬆

    Worksheet.eachRow⬆

    The arguments in the callback function to Worksheet.eachRow have been swapped and changed; it was function(rowNumber,rowValues), now it is function(row, rowNumber) which gives it a look and feel more like the underscore (_.each) function and priorities the row object over the row number.

    Worksheet.getRow⬆

    This function has changed from returning a sparse array of cell values to returning a Row object. This enables accessing row properties and will facilitate managing row styles and so on.

    The sparse array of cell values is still available via Worksheet.getRow(rowNumber).values;

    0.1.1⬆

    cell.model⬆

    cell.styles renamed to cell.style

    0.2.44⬆

    Promises returned from functions switched from Bluebird to native node Promise which can break calling code if they rely on Bluebird’s extra features.

    To mitigate this the following two changes were added to 0.3.0:

    • A more fully featured and still browser compatible promise lib is used by default. This lib supports many of the features of Bluebird but with a much lower footprint.
    • An option to inject a different Promise implementation. See Config section for more details.

    Config⬆

    ExcelJS now supports dependency injection for the promise library. You can restore Bluebird promises by including the following code in your module…

    ExcelJS.config.setValue('promise', require('bluebird'));

    Please note: I have tested ExcelJS with bluebird specifically (since up until recently this was the library it used). From the tests I have done it will not work with Q.

    Caveats⬆

    Dist Folder⬆

    Before publishing this module, the source code is transpiled and otherwise processed before being placed in a dist/ folder. This README identifies two files - a browserified bundle and minified version. No other contents of the dist/ folder are guaranteed in any way other than the file specified as “main” in the package.json

    Known Issues⬆

    Testing with Puppeteer⬆

    The test suite included in this lib includes a small script executed in a headless browser to validate the bundled packages. At the time of this writing, it appears that this test does not play nicely in the Windows Linux subsystem.

    For this reason, the browser test can be disabled by the existence of a file named .disable-test-browser

    sudo apt-get install libfontconfig

    Splice vs Merge⬆

    If any splice operation affects a merged cell, the merge group will not be moved correctly

    • Streaming XLSX Writer
      • At long last ExcelJS can support writing massive XLSX files in a scalable memory efficient manner. Performance has been optimised and even smaller spreadsheets can be faster to write than the document writer. Options have been added to control the use of shared strings and styles as these can both have a considerable effect on performance

      • Access the last editable row in a worksheet.
    • Row.commit()
      • For streaming writers, this method commits the row (and any previous rows) to the stream. Committed rows will no longer be editable (and are typically deleted from the worksheet object). For Document type workbooks, this method has no effect.
    0.2.2
    • One Billion Cells
      • Achievement Unlocked: A simple test using ExcelJS has created a spreadsheet with 1,000,000,000 cells. Made using random data with 100,000,000 rows of 10 cells per row. I cannot validate the file yet as Excel will not open it and I have yet to implement the streaming reader but I have every confidence that it is good since 1,000,000 rows loads ok.

    • Addressed the following issues:

      These issues are potentially caused by a bug that caused colours with zero themes, tints or indexes to be rendered and parsed incorrectly.

      Regarding themes: the theme files stored inside the xlsx container hold important information regarding colours, styles etc and if the theme information from a loaded xlsx file is lost, the results can be unpredictable and undesirable. To address this, when an ExcelJS Workbook parses an XLSX file, it will preserve any theme files it finds and include them when writing to a new XLSX. If this behaviour is not desired, the Workbook class exposes a clearThemes() function which will drop the theme content. Note that this behaviour is only implemented in the document based Workbook class, not the streamed Reader and Writer.

    Major Version Change

    Introducing async/await to ExcelJS!

    The new async and await features of JavaScript can help a lot to make code more readable and maintainable. To avoid confusion, particularly with returned promises from async functions, we have had to remove the Promise class configuration option and from v2 onwards ExcelJS will use native Promises. Since this is potentially a breaking change we’re bumping the major version for this release.

    Changes

    3.0.0

    Another Major Version Change

    Javascript has changed a lot over the years, and so have the modules and technologies surrounding it. To this end, this major version of ExcelJS changes the structure of the publish artefacts:

    Main Export is now the Original Javascript Source

    Prior to this release, the transpiled ES5 code was exported as the package main. From now on, the package main comes directly from the lib/ folder. This means a number of dependencies have been removed, including the polyfills.

    ES5 and Browserify are Still Included

    In order to support those that still require ES5 ready code (e.g. as dependencies in web apps) the source code will still be transpiled and available in dist/es5.

    The ES5 code is also browserified and available as dist/exceljs.js or dist/exceljs.min.js

    See the section Importing for details

    • Conditional Formatting A subset of Excel Conditional formatting has been implemented! Specifically the formatting rules that do not require XML to be rendered inside an <extLst> node, or in other words everything except databar and three icon sets (3Triangles, 3Stars, 5Boxes). These will be implemented in due course
    • Merged remove core-js/ import #1030. Many thanks to jeffrey n. carre for this contribution. This change is used to create a new browserified bundle artefact that does not include any polyfills. See Browserify for details.
