.Sheets(sheets => {
sheets.Add()
.Name("Food Order")
.MergedCells("A1:F1", "C15:E15")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Add().Width(100);
columns.Add().Width(215);
columns.Add().Width(115);
columns.Add().Width(115);
columns.Add().Width(115);
columns.Add().Width(155);
})
.Rows(rows =>
{
rows.Add().Height(50).Cells(cells =>
{
cells.Add()
.Value("My Company")
.FontSize(25)
.Background("rgb(142,196,65)")
.TextAlign(SpreadsheetTextAlign.Center)
.Color("white");
});
rows.Add().Height(25).Cells(cells =>
{
cells.Add()
.Value("ID")
.Background("rgb(212,223,50)")
.TextAlign(SpreadsheetTextAlign.Center);
cells.Add()
