I use PHPExcel to export data from mysql and $workbook->getProperties()->setCustomProperty() to store table name.
But i’d also like to store an *primary_key* field for importing without having visible column for it.
And it should stick to the row so editors can delete rows.
PHPExcel is lacking of documentation so i didn’t find anything at the moment.
Is it even possible? Haven’t digged into OfficeOpenXML docs yet – looking for existing solution.
Cheers!
Why not store the primary key in column A of your worksheet, and then set column A to “hidden”?
You can find out how to do this by reading section 4.6.29. in the (non-existent) Developer Documentation, entitled “Show/hide a column”
