The measure for column width in PhpSpreadsheet does **not** correspond
exactly to the measure you may be used to in Microsoft Office Excel.
Column widths are difficult to deal with in Excel, and there are several
measures for the column width.1) **Inner width in character units**
(e.g. 8.43 this is probably what you are familiar with in Excel)2)
**Full width in pixels** (e.g. 64 pixels)3) **Full width in character
units** (e.g. 9.140625, value -1 indicates unset width)**PHPExcel always
operates with 3) "Full width in character units"** which is in fact the
measures for the column width.
1. Inner width in character units
(e.g. 8.43 this is probably what you are familiar with in Excel)
2. Full width in pixels (e.g. 64 pixels)
3. Full width in character units (e.g. 9.140625, value -1 indicates unset width)
**PhpSpreadsheet always
operates with "3. Full width in character units"** which is in fact the
only value that is stored in any Excel file, hence the most reliable
measure. Unfortunately, **Microsoft Office Excel does not present you
with this measure**. Instead measures 1) and 2) are computed by the
with this measure**. Instead measures 1 and 2 are computed by the
application when the file is opened and these values are presented in
various dialogues and tool tips.The character width unit is the width of
a '0' (zero) glyph in the workbooks default font. Therefore column
various dialogues and tool tips.
The character width unit is the width of
a `0` (zero) glyph in the workbooks default font. Therefore column
widths measured in character units in two different workbooks can only
be compared if they have the same default workbook font.If you have some
Excel file and need to know the column widths in measure 3), you can
Excel file and need to know the column widths in measure 3, you can
read the Excel file with PhpSpreadsheet and echo the retrieved values.
