xlrd

I am attempting to read values from an Excel file using xlrd. It has been working great on dates, numbers, and up until now text. I have a column (category) with cells containing text (the cells are formatted as text). When I print out the cell value a float is displayed instead of the text. I also printed out the ctype of the Cell object(s) to check and it is showing as Number. I've read through the documentation and tutorial of xlrd and can't seem to find why this is occurring. Could it be that my excel file is somehow messed up? Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction? import

I have an excel file with a drop-down list and I would like to access its current value from python. In vba the code is really simple : Sheets("name_of_my_sheet").name_of_my_list.value I looked for an equivalent in xlrd but couldn't find one. I got my answer. The list the drop-down box is created at run time in vba so you can't "read" its value from the xls. The solution is to write in VBA an on change method that will actually write the value to the cell under the box. Sub My_List_Change() Sheets("Containing your box").Cells(x,y) = My_List.value // x,y being the coordinates of the cell hidden

I have the following content in an old Excel sheet: I need to generate a new Excel sheet with the following values: In the input Excel file's 3rd column I have a range 10010-10040 and an increment value of 10 . This needs to be expanded in my new Excel file. If I give a comma (,) in between values, it should be treated as separate values and expanded. (Like in row2, column 3) I have no idea how to do this and I am new to Python. Try the following. This uses the xlrd and xlwt libraries to read and write xls spreadsheets: import xlrd import xlwt wb_in = xlrd.open_workbook(r'input.xls') sheet

2 Questions to ask: Ques 1: I just started studying about xlrd for reading excel file in python. I was wondering if there is a method in xlsrd --> similar to get_active_sheet() in openpyxl or any other way to get the Active sheet ? get_active_sheet() works this in openpyxl import openpyxl wb = openpyxl.load_workbook('example.xlsx') active_sheet = wb.get_active_sheet() output : Worksheet "Sheet1" I had found methods in xlrd for retrieving the names of sheets, but none of them could tell me the active sheet. Ques 2: Is xlrd the best packaage in python for reading excel files? I also came across

开始使用xlrd，下载安装包，解压，安装省略 下载 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd 假设我的表格文件叫demo.xls，三个sheet，第一个sheet内容如下 则要访问3行第D列单元格则使用如下代码 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> import xlrd >>> import os >>> import sys >>> wb=xlrd.open_workbook("demo.xls") >>> range(wb.nsheets) #可以看到，一共有三个sheet，其索引为0,1,2 [0, 1, 2] >>> sht1=wb.sheet_by_name("demo_sheet1") #等同于使用sht2=wb.sheet_by_index(0) >>> print sht1.cell_value(2,3) #索引从0开始，先行，后列，D4对应与（2,3） 是 >>> print sht1.cell_value(4,1) #B5对应（4,1） 餐饮 >>> for item in sht1.row_values(1): #可以输出整个一行，返回为列表 print item, 4.0 电视剧 web 是 ========

I have an xlsx file with 1 sheet. I am trying to open it using python 3 (xlrd lib), but I get an empty file!
