freezePane(firstActiveRow, firstActiveCol) not working as expected
gabrielwolfson opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
When freezing excel rows and columns, the user must either specify 'firstRow = TRUE' and 'firstCol = TRUE' or provide 'firstActiveRow' and 'firstActiveCol' arguments. When using 'firstRow = TRUE' combined with 'firstActiveCol' or 'firstActiveRow' combined with 'firstCol = TRUE', the 'firstActive_x' argument is ignored.
To Reproduce
df <- mtcars
wb <- createWorkbook()
addWorksheet(wb = wb, sheetName = "Sheet 1")
writeData(wb = wb, sheet = "Sheet 1", x = df)
###works:
#example 1: firstRow = TRUE, firstCol = TRUE
freezePane(wb = wb, sheet = "Sheet 1",
firstRow = TRUE,
firstCol = TRUE)
openXL(file = wb)
#example 2: firstActiveRow = 3, firstActiveCol = 4
freezePane(wb = wb, sheet = "Sheet 1",
firstActiveCol = 4,
firstActiveRow = 3)
openXL(file = wb)
###does not work:
#example 3: firstRow = TRUE, firstActiveCol = 4
freezePane(wb = wb, sheet = "Sheet 1",
firstRow = TRUE,
firstActiveCol = 4)
openXL(file = wb) #firstActiveCol does not freeze cols
#example 4: firstActiveRow = 3, firstCol = TRUE
freezePane(wb = wb, sheet = "Sheet 1",
firstActiveRow = 3,
firstCol = TRUE)
openXL(file = wb) #firstActiveRow does not freeze rows
Expected behavior
In example 3: first row and columns 1-3 should be frozen (only first row is frozen)
in example 4: first column and rows 1-2 should be frozen (only first column is frozen)
Example files
example_1.xlsx
example_2.xlsx
example_3.xlsx
example_4.xlsx
Additional context
Given the easy workaround, it's not critical that this be addressed on the back-end. It might be simpler to include a note in the documentation.
