I am using xslxwriter to produce a excel spreadsheet, and I am wondering if there is anyway I can re-order my worksheets in my workbook.
I have tried to change the index, but this doesn't seem to work (index doesn't seem to alter the order).
Any idea if this can be done with xslxwriter, or is there another module I should be using?
I have found a workaround, unfortunately not in the xslxwriter module but the pywin32 addin.
Using the following you can reorder your sheet "WorkSheetToMove" in an Excel spreadsheet:
excel = win32com.client.Dispatch('Excel.Application')
excel.Visible = True
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(Filename="excelyouwanttoreoder.xslx", ReadOnly='False')
for worksheet in wb.Sheets:
if worksheet.Name == "WorkSheetToMove":
worksheet.Move(Before=wb.Sheets("Sheet2"))
wb.Close()

I have been testing adding a table to a worksheet using openpyxl, but I get the error below when I try to open it. The file opens, but the formatting isn't correct. After hitting recover, excel reports that there was an issue with the table xml. Is there a workaround/fix for this?
The code I'm using:
import openpyxl
from openpyxl import Workbook
from openpyxl.worksheet.table import Table, TableStyleInfo
xl_file_name = "new_test.xlsx"
wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.worksheets[0]
ws.title = "Table_Sheet"
headers = ["header1","header2","header3"]
for col in range(1,len(headers)+1):
for row in range(1,5):
if row == 1:
ws.cell(row,col).value = headers[col-1]
else:
ws.cell(row,col).value = str(row)
tbl = Table(displayName="Tbl1",ref="A1:C4")
style = TableStyleInfo(name="TableStyleMedium9", showFirstColumn=False, showLastColumn=False, showRowStripes=True, showColumnStripes=True)
tbl.tableStyleInfo = style
ws.add_table(tbl)
wb.save("new_test.xlsx")
Your name for the table is causing the problem. Run the same code with displayName="Tbl" or displayName="Tbl_1" instead, and you'll see it works fine. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the cause of the issue is that the name you give conflicts with the formatting for a possible cell reference of TBL1.
For me the following worked:
Change the Workbook as you wish (only Data no formatting)
Save the Workbook (If you would try to open it here it will display the error message)
Close the Workbook
Open the Workbook again (I think here Excel fixes the issue automatically)
Insert necessary formatting commands
Save the workbook
Close the Workbook
Or, as code:
import openpyxl
workbook = openpyxl.load_workbook(Source_Path)
##your code appending and deleting values - which I think sometimes causes the errors
workbook.save(Destination_Path)
workbook.close
#Now open it again
workbook = openpyxl.load_workbook(Destination_Path)
#Your Code to format
workbook.save(Destination_Path)
workbook.close
Now you should be able to open the Excel file without an error.
I've had the same error message.
I was creating tables with numbers at the start of the name, so I changed that code to add t_ at the beginning, so
table_name = "112MHZ_data"
became
table_name = "t_112MHZ_data"
And that solved it for me.
I am trying to adjust some workbook audit code for the new threaded comments. Basically the code would cycle through all workbook comments (notes) and consolidate them into a new sheet at the end of the workbook.
With what is now notes, I use the following (noting cmt1 is declared as a comment object and wsSource is a worksheet object)
For Each cmt1 In wsSource.Comments
'Collect comment data for testing/pasting
strSheetname = wsSource.Name
strCmt = cmt1.Text
strCellref = cmt1.Parent.Address
strContent = cmt1.Parent.Formula
etc.
Now with threaded comments, the same type of approach didn't work. I am trying to do a numerical loop using a counter and having code like the below:
For x = 1 to wsSource.commentsthreaded.count
However the count property doesn't work. According to the nmicrosoft website, it should be one of the 4 available properties.

Does anyone else have this issue? Any way to fix it?
Issue resolved - it looks like the problem was the Excel version. I was running 1904 and it now works since updating to 1906.
Let an handle to our currently active Excel sheet is created in an .ahk script through
Xl := ComObjActive("Excel.Application")
and then some values are managed, as instance through
Xl.Sheets("Book1").Range("K2:K239").Copy
It looks like AutoHotkey allows for using VBA syntax to interact with Excel workbooks and sheets, but what if I wanted to stop the Excel autoupdating function like I would do in VBA?
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
I've tried something like
Xl.Application.ScreenUpdating = False
and
Xl.ScreenUpdating = False
but AutoHotkey returns error in both the cases.
I think all you are missing is a colon... Xl.ScreenUpdating := False
When my Office Writer Excel report opens, it randomly un-hides some of the hidden cells and columns. I have verified that it is not the data that causes the columns or cells to not be hidden. Has anyone experienced this before and is there a way to make sure that all columns or cells stay hidden when the excel file is opened?
I work for SoftArtisans. We have not had any other reports of programmatically hidden columns becoming visible in the output file. We also have not been able to reproduce the behavior you are reporting. It would be helpful to see a code snippet, as well as to know which version of OfficeWriter you are using and which version of Excel is being used to open the output file.
There are two ways to hide columns with our API, both using the ColumnProperties object. You can set the hidden property to true or set the width property to zero. You could do both if you like, although that shouldn't be necessary.
For example:
ExcelApplication xla = new ExcelApplication();
Workbook wb = xla.Create(ExcelApplication.FileFormat.Xlsx);
//or if opening an existing workbook
//Workbook wb = xla.Open(inputFilePath);
//Get a handle on the worksheet
Worksheet ws = wb.Worksheets[0];
//Write a value to a cell
ws.Cells[0, 9].Value = "Hidden Value";
//Get a handle on the column you want to hide
ColumnProperties colProps = ws.GetColumnProperties(9);
//set the column to hidden
colProps.Hidden = true;
//or set the column width to zero
colProps.Width = 0;
//Stream the output file to the response
xla.Save(wb, Page.Response, "HiddenColumnTest.xlsx", false);
How do I add more sheets to an excel workbook from within matlab?
I set up the workbook like so (based on code I got from someone else's post in this forum):
%# create Excel COM Server
Excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');
Excel.Visible = true;
%# create new XLS file
wb = Excel.Workbooks.Add();
wsheet=1;
wb.Sheets.Item(wsheet).Activate();
That's fine. Then later on inside the loop I open a new sheet after so many loops:
...
if loop==sheetlimit,
wsheet=wsheet+1;
wb.Sheets.Item(wsheet).Activate();
end
This works up to sheet 3. But when wsheet=4 I get this error message:
??? Invoke Error, Dispatch Exception: Invalid index.
Error in ==> filename at 97
wb.Sheets.Item(wsheet).Activate();
Appreciate any help. Thanks.
I don't know Matlab but I would be surprised if wb.Sheets.Item(wsheet).Activate(); is actually adding any new worksheets. Most likely it is selecting / activating each worksheet in your wb workbook and your default Excel template has three worksheets. Hence why it errors when it gets to more than three.
Something like this might add a new Excel worksheet:
wb.sheets.Add();
Aargh - comment formatting completely messed up - I'll re-enter it as an new answer
Yes wb.sheets.Add(); will work. You can query the available methods of an interface like this:
methods(wb.sheets)
which gives:
