wb$add_worksheet("Duplicates")
wb$add_data("Duplicates", sample(LETTERS[1:15], size = 10, replace = TRUE))
wb$add_conditional_formatting(
  "Duplicates",
  cols = 1,
  rows = 1:10,
  type = "duplicatedValues"
)

Colorscale colors cells based on cell value

Yep, that is a color scale image.

df <- read_xlsx("https://github.com/JanMarvin/openxlsx-data/raw/main/readTest.xlsx", sheet = 5)
wb$add_worksheet("colorScale", zoom = 30)
wb$add_data("colorScale", df, colNames = FALSE) ## write data.frame

Rule is a vector or colors of length 2 or 3 (any hex color or any of colors()). If rule is NULL, min and max of cells is used. Rule must be the same length as style or L.

wb$add_conditional_formatting(
  "colorScale",
  cols = c(1, ncol(df)),
  rows = seq_len(nrow(df)),
  style = c("black", "white"),
  rule = c(0, 255),
  type = "colorScale"
)

wb$set_row_heights("colorScale", rows = seq_len(nrow(df)), heights = 7.5)

)

Highlight top 5 values in column x

wb$add_conditional_formatting(

)
wb$add_worksheet("bottomN")

  rows = 2:11,
  style = "negStyle",
  type = "bottomN",
  params = list(rank = 20, percent = TRUE)
)
wb$add_worksheet("logical operators")

You can use Excels logical Operators

wb$add_data("logical operators", 1:10)
wb$add_conditional_formatting(
  "logical operators",
