conditionalFormatting: Add conditional formatting to cells

Description

Add conditional formatting to cells

Usage

conditionalFormatting(
  wb,
  sheet,
  cols,
  rows,
  rule = NULL,
  style = NULL,
  type = "expression",
  ...
)

Arguments

wb

A workbook object

sheet

A name or index of a worksheet

cols

Columns to apply conditional formatting to

rows

Rows to apply conditional formatting to

rule

The condition under which to apply the formatting. See examples.

style

A style to apply to those cells that satisfy the rule. Default is createStyle(fontColour = "#9C0006", bgFill = "#FFC7CE")

type

Either 'expression', 'colorscale', 'databar', 'duplicates' or "contains' (case insensitive).

...

See below

Details

See Examples.

If type == "expression"

  • style is a Style object. See createStyle

  • rule is an expression. Valid operators are "<", "<=", ">", ">=", "==", "!=".

If type == "colourScale"

  • style is a vector of colours with length 2 or 3

  • rule can be NULL or a vector of colours of equal length to styles

If type == "databar"

  • style is a vector of colours with length 2 or 3

  • rule is a numeric vector specifying the range of the databar colours. Must be equal length to style

  • ...

    • showvalue If FALSE the cell value is hidden. Default TRUE.

    • gradient If FALSE colour gradient is removed. Default TRUE.

    • border If FALSE the border around the database is hidden. Default TRUE.

If type == "duplicates"

  • style is a Style object. See createStyle

  • rule is ignored.

If type == "contains"

  • style is a Style object. See createStyle

  • rule is the text to look for within cells

If type == "between"

  • style is a Style object. See createStyle

  • rule is a numeric vector of length 2 specifying lower and upper bound (Inclusive)
