Fix #3195. Applying a conditional style to an entire row or column applies the Excel 2007+ limits (16,384 columns and 1,048,576 rows). However, Excel 2003- has different limits (256 columns and 65,536 rows). Trying to use the larger limits in an Xls spreadsheet results in a corrupt file. Xls Writer is changed to adjust ranges appropriately. The issue also mentions that there might be a problem if a spreadsheet contains CF rules for both whole rows and whole columns. I am unable to corroborate this; the code from the new test can be used to generate an Xls file which is usable, and which has both row and column conditional styles. However, testing showed that Xls Writer did not handle conditions correctly for floating point, negative integers, or integers > 65535. These should now be handled correctly.
PhpSpreadsheet

Patreon
I am now running a Patreon to support the work that I do on PhpSpreadsheet.
Supporters will receive access to articles about working with PhpSpreadsheet, and how to use some of its more advanced features.
Posts already available to Patreon supporters:
- The Dating Game
- A look at how MS Excel (and PhpSpreadsheet) handle date and time values.
- Looping the Loop
- Advice on Iterating through the rows and cells in a worksheet.
And for Patrons at levels actively using PhpSpreadsheet:
- Behind the Mask
- A look at Number Format Masks.
The Next Article (currently Work in Progress):
- Formula for Success
- How to debug formulae that don't produce the expected result.
My aim is to post at least one article each month, taking a detailed look at some feature of MS Excel and how to use that feature in PhpSpreadsheet, or on how to perform different activities in PhpSpreadsheet.
Planned posts for the future include topics like:
- Tables
- Structured References
- AutoFiltering
- Array Formulae
- Conditional Formatting
- Data Validation
- Value Binders
- Images
- Charts
After a period of six months exclusive to Patreon supporters, articles will be incorporated into the public documentation for the library.
PHPExcel vs PhpSpreadsheet ?
PhpSpreadsheet is the next version of PHPExcel. It breaks compatibility to dramatically improve the code base quality (namespaces, PSR compliance, use of latest PHP language features, etc.).
Because all efforts have shifted to PhpSpreadsheet, PHPExcel will no longer be maintained. All contributions for PHPExcel, patches and new features, should target PhpSpreadsheet master branch.
Do you need to migrate? There is an automated tool for that.
