Well unfortunately XLSX.jl doesn’t provide any functionality for formatting. So merging cells with XLSX.jl is impossible

Any other way in Julia ? Other packages? Paul

ExcelReaders.jl uses python package xlrd, and xlrd seems to have more functionalities regarding formatting. API Reference — xlrd 2.0.1 documentation You probably can use xlrd functions from Julia but I’m not sure, because I’ve never used them myself :slight_smile:

XLSX.jl provides a full set of formatting functions, including conditional formatting, in versions v0.11 and newer.

There is a package called LibXLSXWriter.jl. Check it out. This is a fantastic package for creating Excel Spreadsheets with formatting.
