In Excel cell text will vary from Pass to Fail.I have to give background color green for Pass(pass/Passed/passed) and red for Fail(fail/Failed/failed) respectively. How to change the color based on text ? My Script import xlwt workbook = xlwt.Workbook() worksheet = workbook.add_sheet('Testing') worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 1, 1,'S.No') worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 2, 2,'Test Case Description') worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 3, 3,'Status') worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 4, 4,'Remarks') worksheet.write_merge(6, 6, 1, 1,1) worksheet.write_merge(7, 7, 1, 1,1) worksheet.write_merge(6, 6, 2, 2,'Verify

I am used to creating a spreadsheet in the following way: wbk = xlwt.Workbook() earnings_tab = wbk.add_sheet('EARNINGS') wbk.save(filepath) Is there any way to not save to file to a filepath, and instead write it on-the-fly to a user who downloads the file? Or do I need to save it as a tmp file and then serve that to the user? bernie To quote the documentation for the .save() method of xlwt : It can also be a stream object with a write method, such as a StringIO , in which case the data for the excel file is written to the stream. Modified example: import StringIO f = StringIO.StringIO() #

Hello everyone and thank you in advance. I have a python script where I am opening a template excel file, adding data (while preserving the style) and saving again. I would like to be able to remove rows that I did not edit before saving out the new xls file. My template xls file has a footer so I want to delete the extra rows before the footer. Here is how I am loading the xls template: self.inBook = xlrd.open_workbook(file_path, formatting_info=True) self.outBook = xlutils.copy.copy(self.inBook) self.outBookCopy = xlutils.copy.copy(self.inBook) I then write the info to outBook while grabbing

Is there a way to make a particular cell read-only/write protected in python xlwt? I know there's is a cell_overwrite_ok flag which does not allow to overwrite contents of cells (all cells) but can this be done on cell by cell basis. Thanks, Sun Excel cells have a locked attribute that is enabled by default. However, this attribute is only invoked when the worksheet's protection attribute is also set to True . If the worksheet is not protected, the locked attribute is ignored. Therefore, your question isn't best framed as how to make cells read-only . Rather, the question is how to make cells

I am using Python 2.6 + xlwt module to generate excel files. Is it possible to include an autofilter in the first row with xlwt or pyExcelerator or anything else besides COM? Thanks AFAIK xlwt doesn't allow you to add a filter. However you can add a filter using Mark Hammond's Python Win32 Extensions . Download for 2.6 here . Something like this should work (tested in Python 2.5.4): from win32com.client import DispatchEx xl = DispatchEx("Excel.Application") xl.Workbooks.Open("c:/excel_file.xls") xl.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Columns(1).AutoFilter(1) xl.ActiveWorkbook.Close(SaveChanges=1) xl

前面介绍了 Python 利用xlrs读取Excel文件 ，今天接着介绍如何写Excel文件，用到的工具包为 xlwt (by John Machin)。 基本部分 在写入Excel表格之前，你必须初始化workbook对象，然后添加一个workbook对象。比如： ? 1 2 3 import xlwt wbk = xlwt.Workbook() sheet = wbk.add_sheet( 'sheet 1' ) 这样表单就被创建了,写入数据也很简单： ? 1 2 # indexing is zero based, row then column sheet.write( 0 , 1 , 'test text' ) 之后，就可以保存文件(这里不需要想打开文件一样需要close文件)： ? 1 wbk.save( 'test.xls' ) 深入探索 worksheet对象，当你更改表单内容的时候，会有警告提示。 ? 1 2 3 4 5 6 sheet.write( 0 , 0 , 'test' ) sheet.write( 0 , 0 , 'oops' ) # returns error: # Exception: Attempt to overwrite cell: # sheetname=u'sheet 1' rowx=0 colx=0 解决方式：使用 cell
