Question

I am using the following Spreadsheet gem to generate an excel sheet from ruby-on-rails.. http://spreadsheet.rubyforge.org/GUIDE_txt.html

I want to format a cell such that I can see it’s top and bottom border, but not any other. Is there anybody who’s been there and done that, and knows how to?

http://spreadsheet.rubyforge.org/Spreadsheet/Format.html

The – (Object) border=(boolean)
Activate or deactivate all four borders (left, right, top, bottom).

• function sets all or none of the borders on the page.

Answer 1

How about this:

book = Spreadsheet::Workbook.new
sheet = book.create_worksheet
format = Spreadsheet::Format.new
format.bottom = true
format.top = true
sheet.rows[4].set_format(8, format)
