Reading a cell value that contains a formula returns 0.0 when using xlrd
问题 I try to read a cell value, say E5 and E5 in the excel sheet contains a formula ' =(A29 - A2) '. I use the following code and it returns me 0.00 instead of the actual value 1.440408 . Is there a way to solve this? I want to print the correct value. Please help me with this. Thank you. book = xlrd.open_workbook('Test.xlsx') first_sheet = book.sheet_by_index(0) particular_cell_value = (first_sheet.cell_value(4,4)) print(particular_cell_value) 回答1: Excel files store formulas and values
