I tried using openpyxl library to read and write data in excel. But later did I know that I need to manipulate an excel binary worksheet. openpyxl doesn't support xlsb.
Is there any other libraries that I can use to be able to read and write data in xlsb without changing any format of the excel?
The requirement is, as much as possible:
Append data at the last row (Don't rewrite the whole data as it will affect the runtime of script).
Don't convert the xlsb
Thank you in advance.
I used xlwings library. Image will be kept and I can work with .xlsb.
I need your help please, I want to automize my everyday tasks with python code. I need to open an existing excel document, modify some information in it(ex: date) then save it as pdf and print it.
Is it possible to do all these via python?
I have tried to do this with openpyxl, I can open and modify the sheets, but' I can't save as pdf only one sheet of the workbook and print it then.
Try using xlwings, it allows you to use more or less any Excel feature because it's actually opening the file and working on it (you can decide if that's done in the background or you can actually see it).
Why you need to use Python?
I think easiest way is write macro in VBA excel (which can updating values in your sheet) and than print it out as PDF or .
Does anyone know how to solve my problem?
Im able to import a Excel File into my Matlab GUI, the problem is the file exist in a few sheets combined together (example: monthly data). I'm trying to import the data from different sheets on the excel file but was not able to (anything from the 2nd sheet i can't import). Anyone knows of a code to import the data?
I guess you used xlsread in order to read data from an XLS file. If you do not add arguments to the function, it will only read the first worksheet. Please check the xlsread documentation by typing doc xlsread in your matlab session.
You can see that you can specify the worksheet with the following code :
num = xlsread(filename,sheet)
I'm curious if there is a possibility to insert an image (for example produced by Matplotlib) into an Excel sheet using xlwings. I've seen some tips regarding handling charts, but not images. If not, then I guess it's worth trying pywin32?
I'm using xlwings 0.19.5
sht.pictures.add(fig,name='Chart',left='A1',top='A1')
Should work to add a picture to Excel. Change fig to your image.
I have an issue with openpyxl library.
Problem:
When I used xlwt, opened an .xls file, and wrote some cells in there, the styles of cells I didn't touch remained the same. But now I have to work with xlsx documents, so I chose openpyxl for this. But after saving it with a .save function, it completely strips the style of a document, even the cells I didn't touch at all.
Any suggestions on how I can preserve the style?
I'm having this exact problem, apparently there is no good way to preserve the styles in openpyxl, see
Use openpyxl to edit a Excel2007 file (.xlsx) without changing its own styles?
I don't think openpyxl solved this issue yet. You can try pywin32 to directly interact with windows API with Excel, you can do everything there you want.
