ws.autoFilter not working

See original GitHub issue

The docs mention the autoFilter option on a worksheet object. I attempted to enable it, but my worksheets still don’t open with autoFilter enabled.

ws.autoFilter = false as well as ws.autoFilter = true do nothing.

Does anyone know of a solution?

0.18.9 completely settles auto filter issues.

https://docs.sheetjs.com/docs/csf/sheet#worksheet-object ws["!autofilter"] will be assigned when parsing and will be serialized. It will also rewrite the relevant defined names for Excel formats.

The freeze options are set in the pane tag within the sheet views. In the XML it will appear right after the dimension tag, so https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/blob/master/bits/67_wsxml.js#L356 is probably the right place. I think something like this should take a parameter !freezerow in the worksheet: (warning: untested)

var freezerow = ws["!freezerow"] || 0;
if(freezerow > 0) { 
  var freezeref = "A" + encode_row(freezerow + 1);
  o[o.length] = '<sheetViews><sheetView tabSelected="1" workbookViewId="0"><pane ySplit="1" topLeftCell="' + freezeref + '" activePane="bottomLeft" state="frozen"/></sheetView></sheetViews>'
}

It might be necessary to add a selection within the sheetview <selection pane="bottomLeft" activeCell="A1" sqref="A1"/> but I haven’t experimented yet.
