PHPExcel - How to make part of the text bold

Question

How do you create a bold cell value using PHPExcel? I know I can use \\n to add a carriage return within the text, but is there some kind of way to bold part of cell value?

Answer 1

Yes you can bold a cell's value with the following code:

$workbook = new PHPExcel;
$sheet = $workbook->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->setCellValue('A1', 'Hello World');
$styleArray = array(
    'font' => array(
        'bold' => true
    )
);
$sheet->getStyle('A1')->applyFromArray($styleArray);
$writer = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5($workbook);
header('Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel');
$writer->save('php://output');

Hope this helps.
