Setting width of spreadsheet cell using PHPExcel

Question

I\'m trying to set the width of a cell in an Excel document generated with PHPExcel with:

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getColumnDimensionByColumn(\'C\')         


        

Answer 1

The correct way to set the column width is by using the line as posted by Jahmic, however it is important to note that additionally, you have to apply styling after adding the data, and not before, otherwise on some configurations, the column width is not applied
