Epplus defaultrowheight doesn't work

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

All of the following lines work to set defaults for the sheet except for DefaultRowHeight. It doesn't see to do a thing. I can set the row height for individual rows just fine, but the default does nothing. Any ideas?

VB

Dim wks As ExcelWorksheet 
...
...
...
wks.Cells.Style.Font.Name = "Calibri"
wks.Cells.Style.Font.Size = 10
wks.Cells.Style.Font.Color.SetColor(Color.Black)
wks.Cells.Style.HorizontalAlignment = OfficeOpenXml.Style.ExcelHorizontalAlignment.Center
wks.Cells.Style.VerticalAlignment = OfficeOpenXml.Style.ExcelVerticalAlignment.Center
wks.Cells.Style.Numberformat.Format = "@"
wks.DefaultRowHeight = 15

What I have tried:

Setting DefaultRowHeight. It doesn't work.

Why does this forum change my subject to mostly lower case? That doesn't make sense. It should read "EPPlus DefaultRowHeight doesn't work" but it changed it on its own. Ugh.

A stab in the dark. DefaultRowHeight may apply to subsequently created sheets, rather than altering existing ones.

That's a good stab. I thought of that as well. But it's a sheet property, so the sheet has to exist first before using it. And my code creates several dozen sheets after the first time I set that and they all have the default Excel 12.75 height.

Seems, a value of 15 is the default row height for EPPlus. So, your code changes nothing.
EPPlus/ExcelWorksheet.cs at master · pruiz/EPPlus · GitHub[^]

I'd strongly suggest to change a RowHeight (instead of DefaultRowHeight) for specific range:

wks.Range["A1:D100"].RowHeight = 15

Before I posted my question I tried setting DefaultRowHeight to other values like 25, 40, etc. None of them had an effect.
