as_Workbook: Convert a huxtable for Excel

Description

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

Usage

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

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.

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.

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 as defined by is_a_number(); otherwise they are stored as text.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
ht <- hux(a = 1:3, b = 1:3)
wb <- as_Workbook(ht)
# }
# NOT RUN {
openxlsx::saveWorkbook(wb, "my-excel-file.xlsx")
# }
