rgba(255 is not a valid value for Int32

[danvic712]

I want to put an html string to a workbook cell (with some html element contains rgba in css style) ,and then I use HtmlString, but this operate throw a error about rgba(255 is not a valid value for Int32
The version I have using is Aspose.Cells 19.4.0

//Datatable data

for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
{
    for (int k = 0; k < columns; k++)
    {
        cells[1 + i, k].HtmlString = data.Rows[i][k].ToString();
        cells[1 + i, k].SetStyle(style);
    }
}

I think you should debug your code closely for the datatable field value(s) if it is ok, the issue may lie there. I have tested using the following code with static HTML string, it works fine and I do not find any issue. See the sample code that I am using:
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook wb = new Workbook();

            Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];

            Cell cell = ws.Cells["B5"];
            cell.HtmlString = "<p>This is what a bio <span style=\"color:rgb(255, 0, 0)\">teacher </span>does....lots of <span style=\"background-color:rgb(255, 215, 0)\">stuff</span>.</p> <ol> <li>You must be smart</li> <li><a href=\"http://www.google.com\">Patient</a></li> <li>Can type&nbsp;</li> <li>other stuffs.</li> </ol>";

            wb.Save("e:\\test2\\out1.xlsx");

If you still could not evaluate or find the issue, kindly do provide sample code (runnable) same as above, you may use static string or create dynamic Dataset/datatable in code to remove any inter-dependencies for external data sources to show the issue, so we could execute your code precisely to consequently figure it out soon.

Hi, Here is my sample code, I tried html string which has rgb color model and that is fine , but when the html string has rgba color, and is still throw error

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Workbook wb = new Workbook();
    Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];

    Cell cell = ws.Cells["B5"];
    cell.HtmlString = "<span style='background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);'>lalalalalala</span>";

    wb.Save(@"C:\Users\danvic.wang\Desktop\demo.xlsx");
}

@Lanesra712

Thanks for the code segment and screenshot with details.

After an initial test, I am able to observe the issue as you mentioned by using updated sample code. I found an exception "rgba(255 is not a valid value for Int32" when setting HTML string using rgba color model, it works fine if I use rgb instead:
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook wb = new Workbook();

 Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];

 Cell cell = ws.Cells["B5"];
//This works.            
//cell.HtmlString = "<p>This is what a bio <span style=\"color:rgb(255, 0, 0)\">teacher </span>does....lots of <span style=\"background-color:rgb(255, 215, 0)\">stuff</span>.</p> <ol> <li>You must be smart</li> <li><a href=\"http://www.google.com\">Patient</a></li> <li>Can type&nbsp;</li> <li>other stuffs.</li> </ol>";
//This does not work            
cell.HtmlString = "<span style='background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);'>lalalalalala</span>";

  wb.Save("e:\\test2\\out1.xlsx");

How i can do specific cell format using coding .please help

[amjad-sahi]

@BinodPanditJH,

See the following sample code on how to format (apply background color, change font with color and do alignment, etc.) a cell in the worksheet for your reference:
e.g.
Sample code:

//Create a new workbook
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
//Get the first(default) worksheet in the workbook
Worksheet SheetReport = workbook.Worksheets[0];

//Get the A1 cell
Cell cell = SheetReport.Cells["A1"];
//Insert a value
cell.PutValue("testin..");
// Create and specify style object
Style cellStyle = new CellsFactory().CreateStyle();
cellStyle.HorizontalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Left;
cellStyle.VerticalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Center;
cellStyle.Pattern = BackgroundType.Solid;
cellStyle.ForegroundColor = Color.Red;
// Sets Cell style font attributes
cellStyle.Font.Name = "Arial";
cellStyle.Font.IsBold = true;
cellStyle.Font.Size = 12;
cellStyle.Font.Color = Color.Yellow;

// Apply the style to the cell
cell.SetStyle(cellStyle);

//Save the Excel file
workbook.Save("e:\\test2\\out1.xlsx");

Moreover, please see the documents with examples on Format Cells for your complete reference.

How to remove green mark on cell

If the numeric data is inserted as string, you will see green triangle saying “Number stored as text” on top left corner of the cell(s). Please note, to apply proper formatting or perform calculations upon the cells, you need to convert these string values (in the cells) to numeric values. Otherwise you will not be able to set your desired tasks.

You may use overloaded version of the method, e.g., Cell.PutValue(string stringvalue, bool isConverted) to convert each cells’ existing value (if possible) to numeric values, set the last argument to true. I think you may loop through all those cells in the column and use this overloaded version of the method to convert every possible string value to numeric value (if possible) for the same cell.
e.g.,
Sample code:

 ...............
      cell.PutValue(cell.StringValue, true);
......................

Hope, this helps a bit.

How to row and column hide?

[amjad-sahi]

@BinodPanditJH,

You can hide a row or column by using the HideRow and HideColumn methods of the Cells collection respectively. Both methods take the row and column index as a parameter to hide the specific row or column.

e.g.
Sample code:

// Instantiating a Workbook object
// Opening the Excel file through the filepath
Workbook workbook = new Workbook("Book1.xlsx");

// Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

// Hiding the 3rd row of the worksheet
worksheet.Cells.HideRow(2);

// Hiding the 2nd column of the worksheet
worksheet.Cells.HideColumn(1);

// Saving the modified Excel file
workbook.Save("out1.xlsx");

Please note, it is also possible to hide a row or column by setting the row height or column width to 0 respectively via relevant API.

Moreover, you can show/unhide any hidden row or column by using the UnhideRow and UnhideColumn methods of the Cells collection respectively.

Hope, this helps a bit.

We again ask you to use our dedicated forums for your queries or issue where we handle clients queries or issues efficiently.

How to merge A and B column ? I want to used Colspan ,How to use???
Pls help

[amjad-sahi]

@BinodPanditJH,

See the document on merging cells for your reference. Also, see the topic for further reference.
https://kb.aspose.com/cells/net/how-to-merge-cells-in-excel-using-csharp/

I want to used Colspan ,How to use???

Do you want to set HTML string to the cell, so it should be parsed and cells are merged automatically? If true, you may use Cell.HtmlString attribute to specify your desired HTML string to the cell. If not, kindly elaborate it on how you could implement merging cells in MS Excel manually, you may provide sample Excel file with your desired results. We will check and help you on how to do it via Aspose.Cells APIs.
