Validating a cell value using XLRD
The above two values are not equal because they are of different types. Let's say I have this table: | Name | Age | | John | 22 | | Phil | 25 | Now I want to read the cell (2,1). >>> cell1 = sheet.cell(1,0) >>> print cell1 text:u'John'...
The Zero's '0' are getting removed automatically when i am converting my HTML template to excel sheets.

Try using xlwt, it worked for me, i also faced the same problem. By using this u need not to have any html template, python itself will convert ur integer into string and write the resulting into excel sheet. Follow this link. http://djangotricks.blogspot.in/2013/12/how-to-export-data-as-excel.html
xlrd import values, clear formatting, delete entries that are not integers
First, in Excel the values were listed as text, not as numbers. I changed that first and got rid of all values in the file that were not numbers. Then I split at the colon and reassigned the values as floats.
Use xlrd to convert XLSX to XML
Per the documentation, xlrd supports only seven types of cell value (Cell.ctype), including XL_CELL_NUMBER 2 (float) There is no separate ctype for integers. All numerical types (including dates, which are ctype == xlrd.XL_CELL_DATE) from Excel will be represented as float objects in Python. You can check if they are equal...
Import xlrd values append to list
Try split the value first: # Create CBSA list CBSAlist = [] for value in sheet.col(1): CBSAlist.append(float(str(value).split(":")[1])) print CBSAlist Result [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0] ...
xlrd cell value returns error
I think your problem is not accounting for the zero-based index. last_row = curr_sheet.nrows returns the number of rows in the worksheet, so accessing the last row requires: skip_val = curr_sheet.cell_value(last_row-1, 1) The first element in Python is indexed by 0, so the first element of a list mylist would...
GroupBy results to dictionary of lists
You could groupby on Column1 and then take Column3 to apply(list) and call to_dict? In [81]: df.groupby('Column1')['Column3'].apply(list).to_dict() Out[81]: {0: [1], 1: [2, 3, 5], 2: [1, 2], 3: [4, 5], 4: [1], 5: [1, 2, 3]} ...
How can I get amount of rows in Excel file via xlwt
python,excel,python-2.7,xlrd,xlwt
I don't think it's possible with xlwt only. Use xlrd (Sheet.nrows) or xlutils. Example from xlutils docs: >>> from xlutils.tests.fixtures import make_sheet >>> sheet = make_sheet(( ... ('X',' ',' ',' ',' '), ... (' ',' ',' ','X',' '), ... (' ',' ',' ',' ',' '), ... ('X',' ',' ',' ','...
Python xlrd iteration over excel spreadsheet leaves out cell values

Python: Infinite loop when testing if cell is empty
python,excel,while-loop,xlrd,xlwt
Ok, I found the answer: elif answer =="empty": while i<=(sh.nrows-1): cell_type = sh.cell_type(i,0) cell_x=sh.cell_value(i,0) new_cell=[] . . db1.write(i,0,new_cell) i+=1 I'm still not exactly sure why my previous answers were wrong but I sucked it up and used the same format as the "rows" loop. I think this code actually removes...
Encoding error when opening an Excel file with xlrd

Python: Convert xlrd sheet to numpy matrix (ndarray)
You are trying to convert an object row, which is a list of xlrd.sheet.Cell elements to a numpy array straight away. That won't work the way you want it to. You'll have to do this the long way and go over each of the columns too: while curr_row < num_rows:...
Convert cStringIO variable into file

Reading a file from Google Cloud Storage with XLRD (python)
python,google-app-engine,python-2.7,google-cloud-storage,xlrd
I should read the documentation with more attention before asking stuff... To provide xlrd with an open file, instead of a filename, I have to give a filecontent. This is done by: archivo=cloudstorage.open('/bucket/workbook.xlsx') wb = xlrd.open_workbook(file_contents=archivo.read()) ...
Assigning Values to Variables from List in Python 2.7

Read merged cells in Excel with Python
I just tried this and it seems to work for your sample data: all_data = [] excel = xlrd.open_workbook(excel_dir+ excel_file) sheet_0 = excel.sheet_by_index(0) # Open the first tab prev_row = [None for i in range(sheet_0.ncols)] for row_index in range(sheet_0.nrows): row= [] for col_index in range(sheet_0.ncols): value = sheet_0.cell(rowx=row_index,colx=col_index).value if len(value)...
Issues in preserving Excel formatting with Python's xlrd and xlutils [duplicate]
xlwt.write accept style informations as its third argument. Unfortunately, xlrd and xlwt use two very different XF object format. So you cannot directly copy the cell's style from the workbook read by xlrd to the workbook created by xlwt. The workaround is the use an xlutils.XLWTWriter to copy the file,...
xlrd throws TypeError: embedded NUL character when trying to open an `.xls` file from web in Python 3.4
python,python-3.x,typeerror,urllib,xlrd
xlrd.open_workbook() can only open excel files. However, the xlfile object created by xlfile = urlopen(DJIA_URL).read() is not an excel file, so xlbook = xlrd.open_workbook(xlfile) won't open. xlfile created by the above way was an object of class "bytes". The fact can be seen by the command print(type(xlfile)) and that should...
How to load in Python an xlsx that originally had .xls file extension?
python,python-2.7,excel-2010,xlrd,openpyxl
One thing is clear: The file you're trying to open has a different format than its extension suggests. As you already know, Excel file formats include (but are not limited to) xls and xlsx. The Excel 2003 format (xls) is a binary format. This means that if you open a...
Xlrd very slow opening excel file
Yes, it's absolutely possible. That is indeed a lot of data to be in an Excel file. By default, xlrd loads the entire workbook into memory. If your workbook is a .xls file, you can use the on_demand parameter to only open worksheets as they are needed: import xlrd def...
xlrd: Why is end_colx 1-indexed when start_colx is 0-indexed?
xlrd's observed behavior reminds me of python's slicing notation, which is like this: +---+---+---+---+---+ | H | e | l | p | A | +---+---+---+---+---+ 0 1 2 3 4 5 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 (given a string of "HelpA" -- that's from the official docs) So, if...
Python / Excel - Conditional cell printing with xlrd
If you know the specific color index of the cells with yellow background, you can check the background.pattern_colour_index value of the cell style. Note that it is important to pass formatting_info=True to the open_workbook(): import xlrd file_location = "/home/myuser/excel.xls" workbook = xlrd.open_workbook(file_location, formatting_info=True) sheet = workbook.sheet_by_index(0) for row in range(sheet.nrows):...

XLRD/Python: Reading Excel file into dict with for-loops
The idea is to, first, read the header into the list. Then, iterate over the sheet rows (starting from the next after the header), create new dictionary based on header keys and appropriate cell values and append it to the list of dictionaries: from xlrd import open_workbook book = open_workbook('forum.xlsx')...
Using python to add a text file to existing Excel Workbook

Xlrd, xlwt, and xlutils: how do they work together
xlrd will load your worksheet file into memory at the time you call the open_workbook() method. Any changes made to the worksheet file after you call open_workbook() are not automatically reflected in the object in memory. If you take a look at the xlrd source code on Github, in particular...
Python XLRD module gives ValueError for some ASCII characters
As Mathias said, the str() cast is failing because it's trying to decode in ascii a unicode string u'\u2211' whereas it should use for instance 'utf-8'. Since s.cell(row, column) returns a float, an int or some unicode string, you'd better to either don't change the format or convert everything in...
Process File in memory using python
You can read the entire file into memory using: data = urllib2.urlopen(url).read() Once the file is in memory, you can load it into xlrd using the file_contents argument of open_workbook: wb = xlrd.open_workbook(url, file_contents=data) Pass the url in as the filename as the documentation states it might be used in...
Python - Using csv and xlrd module to write multi-row excel file to one row csv file
If I understand correctly, you want to take a multi-row XLS and output that as a single-row CSV. If so, this is causing you to output multiple CSV rows: for rownum in xrange(sh1.nrows): wr.writerow(sh1.row_values(rownum)) That code steps through each row in your XLS and creates a corresponding row in your...
