tab_settings(x, i = NULL, j = NULL, value = TRUE, part = "body")

Arguments

x

a flextable object

i

rows selection

j

columns selection

value

an object of generated by officer::fp_tabs().

part

partname of the table (one of 'all', 'body', 'header', 'footer')

Other sugar functions for table style: align(), bg(), bold(), color(), empty_blanks(), font(), fontsize(), highlight(), italic(), keep_with_next(), line_spacing(), padding(), rotate(), valign()

Examples

library(officer)
library(flextable)

z <- data.frame(
  Statistic = c("Median (Q1 ; Q3)", "Min ; Max"),
  Value = c(
    "\t999.99\t(99.9 ; 99.9)",
    "\t9.99\t(9999.9 ; 99.9)"
  )
)

ts <- fp_tabs(
  fp_tab(pos = 0.4, style = "decimal"),
  fp_tab(pos = 1.4, style = "decimal")
)

zz <- flextable(z)
zz <- tab_settings(zz, j = 2, value = ts)
zz <- width(zz, width = c(1.5, 2))


save_as_docx(zz, path = tempfile(fileext = ".docx"))
