Hi all,
Who knows how can I set the background color of a column when exporting a report to excel with excel buffer.
And how can I control the font size.
Thanks

    You can do this by adding the following lines to the CreateSheet function in table 370 - Excel Buffer
    IF "Font Size" <> 0 THEN
      XlWrkSht.Range(xlColID + xlRowID).Font.Size := "Font Size";
    
    IF "Background Colour" <> 0 THEN
      XlWrkSht.Range(xlColID + xlRowID).Interior.ColorIndex := "Background Colour";
    

    where "Font Size" and "Background Colour" are new fields in the Excel Buffer table.
    Add the lines in the REPEAT UNTIL loop after
    IF Underline THEN
      XlWrkSht.Range(xlColID + xlRowID).Borders.Item(XlEdgeBottom).LineStyle := XlContinuous;

    You have to find the places in the report that insets the data you want colored or changed size on and then update the code to populated the new fields in the Excel Buffer table.
