If you want A1 to overflow into B1, then do not set anything for B1. For example, notice how this code sets a value for A1 and C1, but skips B1? As long as you do not touch the adjacent cell (B1), it will be considered blank. So any text to the left of it will overflow into that cell.
<cfscript> cfSheet = SpreadsheetNew("foo"); SpreadsheetSetCellValue(cfSheet, 'this text should overflow', 1, 1); SpreadsheetSetCellValue(cfSheet, 'short text', 1, 3); saveToFile = ExpandPath("test-blank-cell.xls"); SpreadsheetWrite(cfsheet, saveToFile, true); WriteOutput("Saved file: "& saveToFile &"<br>"); </cfscript> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334085 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
