Laravel-excel: [QUESTION] 0 in cell shows up blank in export

[cvanderlinden]

Versions

• PHP version: 7.2
• Laravel version: 5.5
• Package version: 3.1

Description

I am creating my rows using an array and then returning return collect($rows);
When I set a cell value to 0 and export the .xls or .xlsx file, the cells where the zero was set are empty. This is causing an issue with my calculations

Some pseudo-code for how I am adding the rows
$rows[] = [ 'A1' => 0 'A2' => 0 ]; return collect($rows);

However, when I open the file, those values are blank instead of 0. Is there any way to include an actual zero instead of a blank cell?
