    <p>I'm using <a href="http://spreadsheet.rubyforge.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://spreadsheet.rubyforge.org</a> to generate a spreadsheet and I'm having trouble with something. I'm opening an existing workbook and adding data to it.</p> <p>I have manged to get number formatting working to some extent, at least excel is seeing this data as a number, but (very un-excel like) the client would like the number aligned in the center :( </p> <p>My current code looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>nfmt = Spreadsheet::Format.new :number_format =&gt; '0.00' row = sheet.row(1) row[0] = "Result" row[1] = 45.55 row.set_format 1, nfmt </code></pre> <p>Maybe a little far fetched but wondered if anybody can help?</p> <ul> <li>Spreadsheet does not modify Formatting at present. That means in particular that if you set the Value of a Cell to a Date, it can only be read as a Date if its Format was set correctly prior to the change.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Edit for Trevoke</strong></p> <p>Thanks for helping with this. I've tried your code and it works fine. I guess the difference is I'm editing an existing spreadsheet, in which case the formatting is ignored. Try this:</p> <pre><code>require 'rubygems' require 'spreadsheet' Spreadsheet.client_encoding = 'UTF-8' book = Spreadsheet.open "edit_me.xls" # Blank spreadsheet sheet1 = book.worksheet 0 format = Spreadsheet::Format.new :horizontal_align =&gt; :centre sheet1.row(0).default_format = format sheet1.row(0).push 'I rule 2!', 43.56 book.write 'edited_you.xls' </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
