Export to Excel - With Fixed Column Width / Row Height

Hi all,

This article is based on request from my friend  +Damith Shan Abeywicrema.

Hey, man below are the steps how you can achieve it.
Create a function in Excel - say Setwidth as shown below 



[CODE Start]

SetWidth(Type : 'Row,Column';RangeName : Text[30];Width : Decimal)

IF Type = Type :: Column THEN
  XlWrkSht.Range(RangeName).ColumnWidth := Width;

IF Type = Type :: Row THEN
  XlWrkSht.Range(RangeName).RowHeight := Width;

[CODE End]

call this function before giving control to user in report as shown below.



[CODE Starts]

ExcelBuffer.CreateBook();
ExcelBuffer.CreateSheet('Sheet 1','Column Width',COMPANYNAME,USERID);
ExcelBuffer.SetWidth(0,'1:5',20); // FOR ROW 1 TO 5
ExcelBuffer.SetWidth(1,'2:2',40); // FOR Column 2
ExcelBuffer.GiveUserControl();
ERROR('');

[CODE Ends]

And here is the output that you will get.




I hope this resolves the issue that you have.

Thanks & Regards,
Saurav Dhyani

MSDYN365BC - Data Upgrade To Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central on premises.

Hi Readers, We have already talked about the number of steps for upgrading to Business Central on Premises from different NAV versions. After that article, I received multiple requests for an article which list down steps for Data Migration. In this article, we will discuss steps of data migration to MSDYN365BC (on-Prem) from NAV 2017. For this article, I am considering a Cronus Demo Database without any customization. For an actual upgrade project, we will have to complete object merge using compare and Merge process. After the Merge Process, the next step is data migration. Let's discuss those steps. Direct Upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (on-Prem) is from following versions - 1. NAV 2015. 2. NAV 2016. 3. NAV 2017. 4. NAV 2018.
