Typical you would format auto height rows with PHPExcel like this:
$file = new PHPExcel();
$file->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.');
$file->getActiveSheet()->getRowDimension(1)->setRowHeight(-1);
$file->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->getAlignment()->setWrapText(true);
$writer = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($file, 'Excel2007');
$writer->save(str_replace('.php', '.xlsx', __FILE__));
The problem is this doesn't work well when you open such a file with LibreOffice Calc. Instead you have to select the cell, choose Format Cells...
and click OK
.
It seems this is a known bug but unfortunately the proposed solution by adding the following else
block into Classes\PHPExcel\Writer\Excel2007\Worksheet.php
at line 1004 doesn't seem to work:
else {
$objWriter->writeAttribute('customHeight', 'false');
$objWriter->writeAttribute('ht', '0');
}
How could this be fixed?
