PHP Spreadsheet leading zero in cell not working-CodePudding

I copied this code from PhpSpreadsheet's documentation and it does not work. This example can be found on this page:

My code:

$sheet->getCell('A2')->setValue(19);
$sheet->getStyle('A2')->getNumberFormat()->setFormatCode('0000'); 
// will show as 0019 in Excel

But its not working and this is the result:

The expected value of cell $A2 should be 0019 but it shows 19.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Dude,

I Tried and it's working for me.

Let me know it helps you.

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;

// Create new Spreadsheet object
$spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();

$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueExplicit(
    'A2',
    "01513789642",
    \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Cell\DataType::TYPE_STRING

$writer->save('php://output');
exit;

Maybe you use a CSV format try to use Xlsx, I think styling in CSV is not working.

I think this is already issued and there's no solution yet. I'm also looking for the solution but the solution i only found is not use CSV.

You can try this:

$num = 19;
$str = substr('0000' . $num,-4);
$sheet->getCell('A2')->setValue($str);

Can you read the cell format?

I have never used PhpSpreadsheet, but I would think it would be something like:

echo $sheet->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A2');

You can try:

$sheet->getCell('A2')->setValueExplicit("'0019",\PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Cell\DataType::TYPE_STRING);
