PHPExcel set column value and column quantity

Question

I have one select statement which will result values as below:

  79927
  79927
  79927
  79927
  79928
  79928
  79928
  79928
  79928

Then When I export to excel I have the below screen: enter image description here

But what I really want is this result: enter image description here

I want to set the maximum column as D, which means every time the result achieve the column D the next will move to the next row.

If the result achieve the D1, the next will go to A2 and so on.

Here's my code:

        $rowCount=1;
        while ( $row1 = mysql_fetch_array ($itens_spec_comb)) {

        $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue ('A'.$rowCount, $row1 ['id']);



        $rowCount++;
        }

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly, use my example:

    $rowCount=1;
    $col = array("A","B","C","D");
    $i=0;

     while ( $row1 = mysql_fetch_array ($itens_spec_comb)) {

            $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue ($col[$i].$rowCount, $row1 ['id']);
            $i++;
            if($i==3){
                 $i=0;
                 $rowCount++;
            }
       }

Answer 2

    $rowCount=1;
    while ( $row1 = mysql_fetch_array ($itens_spec_comb)) {

        for($col=0; $col<4; $col++){

            $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValueByColumnAndRow ($col, $rowCount, $row1 ['id']);
        }

        $rowCount++;
    }
