Workbook''s size increments considerably after formatting column

[Avelino Ruiz]

Hello,

I am using the following code to format a single column in a spreadsheet:

.
.
.
Dim sheet As IWorksheet = workBook.Worksheets(1)
sheet.Range("A1").EntireColumn.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
.
.
.

After saving the workbook its size increments from 8KB to 8MB.

However if I do the same manually using a normal column select and format in Excel, it only increments up to 10KB.

Could you please advise? Thanks.

Hi Avelino,

Thank you for using syncfusion products.

I have analyzed your problem.Use the IStyles for format rows and columns with large number of cells with same styles.Please use the code snippet given below for setting the date format to a single column.

VB:
Dim columnStyle As IStyle = workbook.Styles.Add("Number Format")
columnStyle.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
sheet.SetDefaultColumnStyle(1, 1, columnStyle)

please,let us know if you have any queries,

Note: The sample is tested with the 8.2.0.18 version,3.5 framework.
