# will be used (XLC$"STYLE_ACTION.XLCONNECT")

# Create a sheet named 'mtcars'
createSheet(wb, name = "mtcars")

# Create a named region called 'mtcars' referring to the sheet called 'mtcars'
createName(wb, name = "mtcars", formula = "mtcars!$C$4")

# Now let's color all weight cells of cars with a weight > 3.5 in red
# (mtcars$wt > 3.5)

# First, create a corresponding (named) cellstyle
heavyCar <- createCellStyle(wb, name = "HeavyCar")

# C4 - and we have also written a header row!
# So, let's take that into account appropriately. Obviously, the two steps
# could be combined directly into one ...
