addConditionalFormatting

int addConditionalFormatting(CellRangeAddress[] regions,                             ConditionalFormattingRule rule)

Add a new Conditional Formatting to the sheet.

Parameters:

regions - - list of rectangular regions to apply conditional formatting rules

rule - - the rule to apply

Returns:

index of the newly created Conditional Formatting object

addConditionalFormatting

int addConditionalFormatting(CellRangeAddress[] regions,                             ConditionalFormattingRule rule1,                             ConditionalFormattingRule rule2)

Add a new Conditional Formatting consisting of two rules.

Parameters:

regions - - list of rectangular regions to apply conditional formatting rules

rule1 - - the first rule

rule2 - - the second rule

Returns:

index of the newly created Conditional Formatting object

addConditionalFormatting

int addConditionalFormatting(CellRangeAddress[] regions,                             ConditionalFormattingRule[] cfRules)

Add a new Conditional Formatting set to the sheet.

Parameters:

regions - - list of rectangular regions to apply conditional formatting rules

cfRules - - set of up to conditional formatting rules (max 3 for Excel pre-2007)

Returns:

index of the newly created Conditional Formatting object

addConditionalFormatting

int addConditionalFormatting(ConditionalFormatting cf)

Adds a copy of a ConditionalFormatting object to the sheet

This method could be used to copy ConditionalFormatting object from one sheet to another. For example:

 ConditionalFormatting cf = sheet.getConditionalFormattingAt(index); newSheet.addConditionalFormatting(cf); 

Parameters:

cf - the Conditional Formatting to clone

Returns:

index of the new Conditional Formatting object

createConditionalFormattingRule

ConditionalFormattingRule createConditionalFormattingRule(byte comparisonOperation,                                                          java.lang.String formula1,                                                          java.lang.String formula2)

A factory method allowing to create a conditional formatting rule with a cell comparison operator

The created conditional formatting rule compares a cell value to a formula calculated result, using the specified operator. The type of the created condition is ConditionType.CELL_VALUE_IS

Parameters:

comparisonOperation - - MUST be a constant value from ComparisonOperator:

• BETWEEN
• NOT_BETWEEN
• EQUAL
• NOT_EQUAL
• GT
• LT
• GE
• LE

formula1 - - formula for the valued, compared with the cell

formula2 - - second formula (only used with ComparisonOperator.BETWEEN) and ComparisonOperator.NOT_BETWEEN operations)

createConditionalFormattingRule

ConditionalFormattingRule createConditionalFormattingRule(byte comparisonOperation,                                                          java.lang.String formula)

Create a conditional formatting rule that compares a cell value to a formula calculated result, using an operator *

The type of the created condition is ConditionType.CELL_VALUE_IS

Parameters:

comparisonOperation - MUST be a constant value from ComparisonOperator except BETWEEN and NOT_BETWEEN

formula - the formula to determine if the conditional formatting is applied

createConditionalFormattingRule

ConditionalFormattingRule createConditionalFormattingRule(java.lang.String formula)

Create a conditional formatting rule based on a Boolean formula. When the formula result is true, the cell is highlighted.

The type of the created format condition is ConditionType.FORMULA

Parameters:

formula - the formula to evaluate. MUST be a Boolean function.

createConditionalFormattingRule

ConditionalFormattingRule createConditionalFormattingRule(ExtendedColor color)

Create a Databar conditional formatting rule.

The thresholds and colour for it will be created, but will be empty and require configuring with ConditionalFormattingRule.getDataBarFormatting() then DataBarFormatting.getMinThreshold() and DataBarFormatting.getMaxThreshold()

createConditionalFormattingRule

ConditionalFormattingRule createConditionalFormattingRule(IconMultiStateFormatting.IconSet iconSet)

Create an Icon Set / Multi-State conditional formatting rule.

The thresholds for it will be created, but will be empty and require configuring with ConditionalFormattingRule.getMultiStateFormatting() then IconMultiStateFormatting.getThresholds()

createConditionalFormattingColorScaleRule

ConditionalFormattingRule createConditionalFormattingColorScaleRule()

Create a Color Scale / Color Gradient conditional formatting rule.

The thresholds and colours for it will be created, but will be empty and require configuring with ConditionalFormattingRule.getColorScaleFormatting() then ColorScaleFormatting.getThresholds() and ColorScaleFormatting.getColors()

getConditionalFormattingAt

ConditionalFormatting getConditionalFormattingAt(int index)

Gets Conditional Formatting object at a particular index

Parameters:

index - 0-based index of the Conditional Formatting object to fetch

Returns:

Conditional Formatting object or null if not found

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the index is outside of the allowable range (0 ... numberOfFormats-1)

getNumConditionalFormattings

int getNumConditionalFormattings()

Returns:

the number of conditional formats in this sheet

removeConditionalFormatting

void removeConditionalFormatting(int index)

Removes a Conditional Formatting object by index

Parameters:

index - 0-based index of the Conditional Formatting object to remove

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the index is outside of the allowable range (0 ... numberOfFormats-1)
