如何使用Javascript使.csv文本“居中对齐”？

Question

I have the following JS code that satisfactorily produces a .csv file and saves it in a user specified location:

JS

function generateCSV() {
  var csvContent = "data:text/csv;charset=utf-8,"
  //Generates Valid CSV
  return csvContent
}

function download(filename, text) {
  var pom = document.createElement('a');
  pom.setAttribute('href', text);
  pom.setAttribute('download', filename);
  pom.click();
}

$('#downloadCSV').click(function () {
    var csvContent = generateCSV();
    download("foobar.csv", encodeURI(csvContent));
});

My problem is that some of the text is left aligned while some is right aligned when I open it in MS Excel. How can I uniformly center-align all text programmatically?

Answer 1

The alignment of columns in CSV documents opened in Excel is infered by the type of data. Text will be aligned differently than numbers and dates. If you want to force some alignment you can either change type of data in column (ie. you can add tabulation at the beginning of number to make it aligned like a text) or generate Excel file (xls or xlsx)

This is aligned to the right:

1;2;3

But this is aligned to the left:

    1;  2;  3

Edit: Going back to your original question: There's no way to center data in CSV documents opened in Excel.
