The primary objective of flexlsx is to offer an effortless interface for exporting flextable objects directly to Microsoft Excel. Building upon the robust foundation provided by openxlsx2 and flextable, flexlsx ensures compatibility, precision, and efficiency when working with both trivial and complex tables.
You can install the development version of flexlsx like so:
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
library(flexlsx)
# Create a flextable and an openxlsx2 workbook
ft <- flextable::as_flextable(table(mtcars[,1:2]))
wb <- openxlsx2::wb_workbook()$add_worksheet("mtcars")
# add the flextable ft to the workbook, sheet "mtcars"
# offset the table to cell 'C2'
wb <- wb_add_flextable(wb, "mtcars", ft, dims = "C2")
# save the workbook to a temporary xlsx file
tmpfile <- tempfile(fileext = ".xlsx")
wb$save(tmpfile)
