## Basic Examples

### write.xlsx

The simplest way to write to a workbook is write.xlsx(). By default, write.xlsx calls writeData. If asTable is TRUE write.xlsx will write x as an Excel table.

    ## write to working directory
    library(openxlsx)
    write.xlsx(iris, file = "writeXLSX1.xlsx")
    write.xlsx(iris, file = "writeXLSXTable1.xlsx", asTable = TRUE)

### write list of data.frames to xlsx-file

    ## write a list of data.frames to individual worksheets using list names as
    ## worksheet names
    l <- list(IRIS = iris, MTCARS = mtcars)
    write.xlsx(l, file = "writeXLSX2.xlsx")
    write.xlsx(l, file = "writeXLSXTable2.xlsx", asTable = TRUE)

### write.xlsx also accepts styling parameters

#### The simplest way is to set default options and set column class

    options(openxlsx.borderColour = "#4F80BD")
    options(openxlsx.borderStyle = "thin")
    options(openxlsx.dateFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy")
    options(openxlsx.datetimeFormat = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss")
    options(openxlsx.numFmt = NULL)  ## For default style rounding of numeric columns

    df <- data.frame(Date = Sys.Date() - 0:19, LogicalT = TRUE, Time = Sys.time() - 0:19 *
        60 * 60, Cash = paste("$", 1:20), Cash2 = 31:50, hLink = "https://CRAN.R-project.org/",
        Percentage = seq(0, 1, length.out = 20), TinyNumbers = runif(20)/1e+09, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

    class(df$Cash) <- "currency"
    class(df$Cash2) <- "accounting"
    class(df$hLink) <- "hyperlink"
    class(df$Percentage) <- "percentage"
    class(df$TinyNumbers) <- "scientific"

    write.xlsx(df, "writeXLSX3.xlsx")
    write.xlsx(df, file = "writeXLSXTable3.xlsx", asTable = TRUE)

## Workbook styles

### define a style for column headers

    hs <- createStyle(fontColour = "#ffffff", fgFill = "#4F80BD", halign = "center",
        valign = "center", textDecoration = "Bold", border = "TopBottomLeftRight", textRotation = 45)

    write.xlsx(iris, file = "writeXLSX4.xlsx", borders = "rows", headerStyle = hs)
    write.xlsx(iris, file = "writeXLSX5.xlsx", borders = "columns", headerStyle = hs)

    write.xlsx(iris, "writeXLSXTable4.xlsx", asTable = TRUE, headerStyle = createStyle(textRotation = 45))

### When writing a list, the stylings will apply to all list elements

    l <- list(IRIS = iris, colClasses = df)
    write.xlsx(l, file = "writeXLSX6.xlsx", borders = "columns", headerStyle = hs)
    write.xlsx(l, file = "writeXLSXTable5.xlsx", asTable = TRUE, tableStyle = "TableStyleLight2")

    openXL("writeXLSX6.xlsx")
    openXL("writeXLSXTable5.xlsx")

### write.xlsx returns the workbook object for further editing

    wb <- write.xlsx(iris, "writeXLSX6.xlsx")
    setColWidths(wb, sheet = 1, cols = 1:5, widths = 20)
    saveWorkbook(wb, "writeXLSX6.xlsx", overwrite = TRUE)

## Workbook creation walk-through

### create workbook and set default border Colour and style

    require(ggplot2)
    wb <- createWorkbook()
    options(openxlsx.borderColour = "#4F80BD")
    options(openxlsx.borderStyle = "thin")
    modifyBaseFont(wb, fontSize = 10, fontName = "Arial Narrow")

### Add Sheets

    addWorksheet(wb, sheetName = "Motor Trend Car Road Tests", gridLines = FALSE)
    addWorksheet(wb, sheetName = "Iris", gridLines = FALSE)

### write data to sheet 1

    freezePane(wb, sheet = 1, firstRow = TRUE, firstCol = TRUE)  ## freeze first row and column
    writeDataTable(wb, sheet = 1, x = mtcars, colNames = TRUE, rowNames = TRUE, tableStyle = "TableStyleLight9")

    setColWidths(wb, sheet = 1, cols = "A", widths = 18)

### write data to sheet 2

iris data.frame is added as excel table on sheet 2.

    writeDataTable(wb, sheet = 2, iris, startCol = "K", startRow = 2)

    qplot(data = iris, x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width, colour = Species)
    insertPlot(wb, 2, xy = c("B", 16))  ## insert plot at cell B16

    means <- aggregate(x = iris[, -5], by = list(iris$Species), FUN = mean)
    vars <- aggregate(x = iris[, -5], by = list(iris$Species), FUN = var)

### add write group means

    headSty <- createStyle(fgFill = "#DCE6F1", halign = "center", border = "TopBottomLeftRight")
    writeData(wb, 2, x = "Iris dataset group means", startCol = 2, startRow = 2)
    writeData(wb, 2, x = means, startCol = "B", startRow = 3, borders = "rows", headerStyle = headSty)

### add write group variances

    writeData(wb, 2, x = "Iris dataset group variances", startCol = 2, startRow = 9)
    writeData(wb, 2, x = vars, startCol = "B", startRow = 10, borders = "columns", headerStyle = headSty)

    setColWidths(wb, 2, cols = 2:6, widths = 12)  ## width is recycled for each col
    setColWidths(wb, 2, cols = 11:15, widths = 15)

### add style mean & variance table headers

    s1 <- createStyle(fontSize = 14, textDecoration = c("bold", "italic"))
    addStyle(wb, 2, style = s1, rows = c(2, 9), cols = c(2, 2))

### save workbook

    saveWorkbook(wb, "basics.xlsx", overwrite = TRUE)  ## save to working directory
