Convert a huxtable for Excel — as

If the openxlsx package is installed, Huxtables can be converted to openxlsx::openxlsx() Worbook objects, for use in Excel documents.

as_Workbook(ht, ...)

# S3 method for huxtable
as_Workbook(
  ht,
  Workbook = NULL,
  sheet = "Sheet 1",
  write_caption = TRUE,
  start_row = 1,
  start_col = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

ht: A huxtable.
...: Not used.
Workbook: An existing Workbook object. By default, a new workbook will be created.
sheet: Name for the worksheet where the huxtable will be created.
write_caption: If TRUE, print any caption in the row above or below the table.
start_row, start_col: Number. Write data starting at the given row and column.

Value

An object of class Workbook.

Details

Use openxlsx::saveWorkbook() to save the resulting object to an Excel file.

Properties are supported with the following exceptions:

Non-numeric column widths and row heights, table width and height.
Decimal padding.
Cell padding.
Table position.
Caption width.

Huxtable tries to guess appropriate widths and height for rows and columns; numeric width() and height() are treated as scaling factors.

Contents are only stored as numbers if a whole column is "numeric", i.e. can be converted by as.numeric()). Otherwise, they are stored as text.

Examples

wb <- as_Workbook(jams)

if (FALSE) {
  openxlsx::saveWorkbook(wb,
        "my-excel-file.xlsx")
}

# multiple sheets in a single workbook:
wb <- openxlsx::createWorkbook()
wb <- as_Workbook(jams,
      Workbook = wb, sheet = "sheet1")
wb <- as_Workbook(
      hux("Another", "huxtable"),
      Workbook = wb,
      sheet = "sheet2")
