Question

I was using PHP Excel to generate a large excel, but PHP Excel consume more memory, it consume 377.37 MB memory, so now i am tried to generate excel with spout excel library

in my case i have pre-generated excel file, i want to just write value of particular cell For Ex- modify value of D48 How can i do this with spout excel?

PHP Excel allow to access and modify particular cell $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('D48','New value');

Is there any methods like setCellValue() in Spout

Answer 1

There are no direct way to do that. You can take a look at this example: https://github.com/box/spout/wiki/Edit-an-existing-spreadsheet to achieve what you need though.

Just be aware that styles are not preserved when editing a spreadsheet.
