My English is not well,sorry about that.
I am trying to sort a sheet using openpyxl and Python. I have read the documents and I don't quite understand this page. I am expecting to sort my excel file by some columns,at frist sort by column A,then by column B,then by cloumn C and last by column F.My problem is how to use add_sort_condition and add_filter_column these two ways,just the simple way would be great.If i can get an example,that's help me a lot!
wb_read = openpyxl.load_workbook(filename)
sheet_read = wb_read.get_active_sheet()
sheet_read.auto_filter.ref = 'A3:Q40000'
"""sheet_read.auto_filter.add_filter.column(2,['id'],blank=False) Didn't work
sheet_read.auto_filter.add_sort_condition('A') How and Where to use condition?
sheet_read.auto_filter.add_sort_condition('A3:Q40000') It seems didn't work again"""
wb_read.save('sorted.xlsx')
By the way,If i want to sort,Do I have to use auto_filter?
Background: Novice user and VBA programmer - be gentle, please.
Scenario:
Using a Visio (2010) straight line connector;
Currently 1-D Endpoints.BeginX is as follows:
=PAR(PNT(Milestone.40!Connections.X1,Milestone.40!Connections.Y1))
What I have:
A data field in the same shape called BeginItem that contains the Visio ID (e.g. 87) of Milestone.40! above.
What I need to know:
If possible, how to change the formula in 1-D Endpoints.BeginX to something like:
=PAR(PNT(BeginItemValue!Connections.X1,BeginItemValue!Connections.Y1))
and if not possible, is there an alternative way of doing this?
Thanks!
Thanks for helping all. A combination of all advice led me to an alternative solution.
Instead of trying to refer to the field in the Shapesheet that does contain the BeginItemValue, I built the entire string (in VBA) by concatenating the parts and then updated the BeginX value with it.
shpObj.Cells("BeginX").Formula = "=PAR(PNT(" & BeginItemValue & "!Connections.X1," & BeginItemValue & "!Connections.Y1))"
That worked well, although I'm sure there are easier ways of doing it.
I need to create a step chart using xlsxwriter. I have looked into documentation but could not find any information. Is it possible to create a step chart using xlsxwriter?
https://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/chart.html
To quote your link "A step chart in Excel can be created from a regular line chart and some clever formatting of your data".
XlsxWriter supports line charts so I guess that it is up to you to do the clever formatting of the data.
Can I fetch data from an excel sheet and present it in a webpage using DataTable (Jquery)
If yes then please suggest ways .
else ,suggest alternatives
I am a beginner in using DataTable hence my question may sound weird.Apologies for it.
Yes, but you need to open the Excel file on the server and convert it to Json.
Here's a Datatable example with AJAX and Json: https://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/data_sources/server_side.html
That example loads the data from a database using, instead you'll have to use a library to open the Excel file, but which one depends on your implementation.
Hi there im having issues trying to transfer data from an excel spreadsheet to visual basic in the form of an array,any one know any reasonable means of doing so.I have searched online extensively but still cannot find a good tutorial on how to code it.
Simple step by step instructions with explanations would be appreciated as while im familiar with some parts of object orientated programming,I have never transferred data in this way.
Eventually I want to transfer this data onto an object orientated table with a few added buttons and functions thrown in
Cheers for any help guys
The easiest way would be to customise the following code:
examplerange = workbooks("Workbook 1").worksheets("Sheet 1").range("A1:B17")
where Workbook 1 is the name of the workbook that you are using (minus the extension, e.g. '.xlsx'), Sheet 1 is the name of the worksheet the range is located and A1:B17 is the range in which you wish to import.
This creates a Variant array-which is inefficient-however this is an easy way to import data into VBA and acceptable if you are not working with large sets of data.
Once you're more familiar, you'll be able to separate the elements in the code above and iterate through dynamic ranges as well as being able to import string / integer / boolean arrays to reduce memory usage.
Hope this is what you're looking for.
