Setting width of spreadsheet cell using PHPExcel

I'm trying to set the width of a cell in an Excel document generated with PHPExcel with:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimensionByColumn('C')->setWidth('10');
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimensionByColumn('C')->setAutoSize(false);

but that does not works.

What is the method that I need to call here?

It's a subtle difference, but this works fine for me:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimension('A')->setWidth(10);

Notice, the difference between getColumnDimensionByColumn and getColumnDimension

Also, I'm not even setting AutoSize and it works fine.

setAutoSize method must come before setWidth:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimensionByColumn('C')->setAutoSize(false);
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimensionByColumn('C')->setWidth('10');

hi i got the same problem.. add 0.71 to excel cell width value and give that value to the

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimension('A')->setWidth(10);

eg: A Column width = 3.71 (excel value)

give column width = 4.42

will give the output file with same cell width.

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimension('A')->setWidth(4.42);

hope this help

Tha is because getColumnDimensionByColumn receives the column index (an integer starting from 0), not a string.

The same goes for setCellValueByColumnAndRow

autoSize for column width set as bellow. It works for me.

$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimension('A')->setAutoSize(true);
