How can one create an excel file using openxlsx where the number formatting includes both comma thousand separators and 2 decimal places? I have tried the code below, but no luck on the formatting.
# Create Customer Dataset
cust <- data.table(Customer = c("Sue", "Ben", "Jason", "Cody"), Sales =
c(5654.3456, 29384.4, 729, .4093))
# Start Workbook
wb <- createWorkbook()
# Set Sheet Name
sheet = "Customers Report"
# Initiate worksheet within workbook
addWorksheet(wb = wb, sheet = sheet)
# Add Formatting to Spreadsheet
addStyle(wb = wb, sheet = sheet, style = createStyle(numFmt = "NUMBER"), rows = 2:6, cols = 2)
addStyle(wb = wb, sheet = sheet, style = createStyle(numFmt = "COMMA"), rows = 2:6, cols = 2, stack = TRUE)
# Write Customer Dataset to Spreadsheet
writeData(wb = wb, sheet = sheet, x = cust, headerStyle =
createStyle(textDecoration = "bold"))
# Write Workbook to File
saveWorkbook(wb = wb, file = "~/Desktop/Customer_Report.xlsx", overwrite = TRUE)
You can set the default formatting for the 2 decimal cases prior to adding the thousands format.
wb = createWorkbook()
options("openxlsx.numFmt" = "0.00") # 2 decimal cases formating
styleT <- createStyle(numFmt = "#,##0.00") # create thousands format
addStyle(wb, sheetName, styleT,
rows = 'yourrows',cols = 'yourcols',
gridExpand = T, stack = T) # add thousands format to designated cols and rows
This will ensure that the thousands formatting happens on a value that already has only 2 decimal cases.
