XLS Formatter (apply)

This Node Is Deprecated — This version of the node has been replaced with a new and improved version. The old version is kept for backwards-compatibility, but for all new workflows we suggest to use the version linked below.

The XLS Formatter (apply) node applies the chained commands from XLS Formatter nodes to an unformatted xlsx file.

All previous XLS Formatter nodes do not modify any xlsx files yet but prepare the formatting steps to be taken here. The input file may not contain any formatting yet (except very few styles that are tolerated due to date/time values handling).
