Adjust cell width in Excel

问题

I am using xlsxwriter to write into Excel sheet. I am facing issue: when text is more then cell size it's getting hidden.

import xlsxwriter

workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook("file.xlsx")
worksheet1 = workbook.add_worksheet()

worksheet1.write(1, 1,"long text hidden test-1" )
worksheet1.write(2, 1,"long text hidden test-2")
worksheet1.write(3, 1,"short-1")
worksheet1.write(4, 1,"short-2")
worksheet1.write(1, 2,"Hello world" )
worksheet1.write(2, 2,"Hello world")
worksheet1.write(3, 2,"Hello world")
worksheet1.write(4, 2,"Hello world")

workbook.close()

What I am getting

What I am expecting with adjusted widths

You could use set_column as follows:

worksheet1.set_column(1, 1, 25)

This is defined as follows:

set_column(first_col, last_col, width, cell_format, options)

If you want to autofit all of the columns automatically, then you will need to use the win32com interface as follows:

import win32com.client as win32
excel = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application')
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(r'file.xlsx')
ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
ws.Columns.AutoFit()
wb.Save()
excel.Application.Quit()

This can easily be done after you closed the file using your current xlsxwriter code. Note, you might need to supply a full path to your file.

Unfortunately xlsxwriter doesnt provide autofit option.

You can however track the largest entry for each column and then set the column width in the end with set column command.

set_column(first_col, last_col, width, cell_format, options)

In your case for instance, you should set the width of B column to the length of the largest string.

width= len("long text hidden test-1")
worksheet1.set_column(1, 1, width)
