xlwt

I have an Excel file containing a varying number of columns, I would like to loop through certain columns (from their header row value) of that file using Python, then write (copy) those columns to another Excel file. Any examples on how I can do this please? alecxe Here are some options to choose from: xlwt (writing xls files) xlrd (reading xls/xlsx files) openpyxl (reading/writing xlsx files) xlsxwriter (writing xlsx files) If you need to copy only data (without formatting information), you can just use any combination of these tools for reading/writing. If you have an xls file, you should

I have few csv files which I would like to dump as new worksheets in a excel workbook(xls/xlsx). How do I achieve this? Googled and found 'pyXLwriter' but it seems the project was stopped. While Im trying out 'pyXLwriter' would like to know are there any alternatives/suggestions/modules? Many Thanks. [Edit] Here is my solution: (anyone has much leaner, much pythonic solution? do comment. thx) import glob import csv import xlwt import os wb = xlwt.Workbook() for filename in glob.glob("c:/xxx/*.csv"): (f_path, f_name) = os.path.split(filename) (f_short_name, f_extension) = os.path.splitext(f

I use xlwt Python library to write data in excel workbook. And now I have some problems with adding background color to excel cell. For example I have next color in RGB(10,20,30), what is the easiest way to do this? Is there any way to set this color to cell? I found only this post which similar with my problem.

On a django site, I want to generate an excel file based on some data in the database. I'm thinking of using xlwt , but it only has a method to save the data to a file. How can get the file to the HttpResponse object? Or maybe do you know a better library? I've also found this snippet but it doesn't do what I need. All I want is a way to get the stream from the xlwt object to the response object (without writing to a temporary file) neat package! i didn't know about this According to the doc, the save(filename_or_stream) method takes either a filename to save on, or a file-like stream to write

Is it possible to write the contents of a QTableWidget to a csv? I found a question about writing to an .xls using xlwt, but can't seem to get it to work using my code. def saveFile(self): filename = unicode(QtGui.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(self, 'Save File', '', ".xls(*.xls)")) wbk = xlwt.Workbook() self.sheet = wbk.add_sheet("sheet") self.write() wbk.save(filename) def write(self): for col in range (self.coordinates.columnCount()): for row in range(self.coordinates.rowCount()): text=str(self.coordinates.item(row,col).text()) self.sheet.write(row,col,text) I get the following error: File "C:

I have a string with a sourcefile path and another string with a destfile path, both pointing to Excel workbooks. I want to take the first sheet of the sourcefile and copy it as a new tab to the destfile (doesn't matter where in the destfile), then save it. Couldn't find an easy way in xlrd or xlwt or xlutils to do this. Am I missing something? Solution 1 A Python-only solution using the openpyxl package. Only data values will be copied. import openpyxl as xl path1 = 'C:\\Users\\Xukrao\\Desktop\\workbook1.xlsx' path2 = 'C:\\Users\\Xukrao\\Desktop\\workbook2.xlsx' wb1 = xl.load_workbook

I'm looking for the best approach for inserting a row into a spreadsheet using openpyxl. Effectively, I have a spreadsheet (Excel 2007) which has a header row, followed by (at most) a few thousand rows of data. I'm looking to insert the row as the first row of actual data, so after the header. My understanding is that the append function is suitable for adding content to the end of the file. Reading the documentation for both openpyxl and xlrd (and xlwt), I can't find any clear cut ways of doing this, beyond looping through the content manually and inserting into a new sheet (after inserting
