Hi Poj

Thanks a lot for your help Please find my complete script . I have used set_text_wrap() property as well to wrap the content in the cells Now I am facing one problem the generated XLS file with the script is having an issue pertaining to the column widths It seems that I am looking for a mechansim to adjust column widths to match the length of the longest string in a column. Could you help me out in the same ?
