cellXfs & cellStyleXfs

[David Thielen]

Hi;

How do these relate to each other and to the cell's using their formatting?
For example, a spreadsheet I created has:

<cellStyleXfs count="1">
<xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="0" borderId="0"/>
</cellStyleXfs>
<cellXfs count="3">
<xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="0" borderId="0" xfId="0"/>
<xf numFmtId="164" fontId="0" fillId="0" borderId="0" xfId="0"
applyNumberFormat="1"/>
<xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="2" borderId="0" xfId="0"
applyNumberFormat="1" applyFill="1"/>
</cellXfs>

Hello Dave,

cellStyleXfs defines the formatting for all named cell styles in this
workbook. That is to say, the named and used styles could be referenced
here.
cellXfs defines the formatting that is applied to cells in this workbook.
That is to say, you could customize your own style without name, and save
them in cellXfs. When you format a cell in Excel 2007 directly, the
corresponding format will also be save in this section by default.

For more detailed information about cellStyleXfs and cellXfs, please refer
to Section 3.8.9 and 3.8.10 of Office Open XML Part4 -Markup Language
Reference.pdf.

Sincerely,

Hi;

I think I'm missing something basic here - like what a named style is and
how it works. As I understand it the <c s='1'...> tells me what cellXfs to
use. But how do I know what cellStyleXfs is also used - and if both set
something, which wins?
