[PYTHON] Read excel with openpyxl
There is a module called openpyxl.
It allows you to read and write Excel in Python. For the time being, I used this module to read an existing Excel file.
In addition, it seems that some people are writing articles on Qiita about how to create an Excel file using openpyxl. If you are interested, please go there.
First of all, basic (installation, import, file reading)
Installation
> easy_install openpyxl
import
import openpyxl
Read file
book = openpyxl.load_workbook(filename)
sheet = book.active #Get the active sheet object
Access cell, turn with for
Access to the cell
print(sheet.cell("A1").value)
Turn with for
for row in sheet.rows:
for cell in row:
print(cell.value, end=" ")
print("")
Precautions for use
Can I use the table written in the Excel worksheet?
It can not be used.
When I read the document, it seems that I can create a table, but I can only operate the table created there.
If you can't use the table, where is the end when you turn it in a for loop?
** It seems to be the bottom right cell where the value is written **.
How to read rows and columns merged cells?
It is not possible to know from openpyxl whether a cell is row / column merged **.
However, when row / column merge is performed, all values of the merged cells other than the upper left cell will be None. So, isn't it possible to guess the value set in the cell based on that?
For example
For example, if you have the following column ...
for row in sheet.rows:
for cell in row:
print(cell.value, end=" ")
print("")
When you run, the output looks like this:
A 1 2
B 3 None
None 5 6
C 7 8
None 9 0
It will be a form of guessing what was written in the merged cell from this point.
