Examples
Here are some basic examples
# import xlsxwriter module import xlsxwriter # create workbook workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('test.xlsx') # add new worksheet via the add_worksheet() method. worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet() # write data via the write() method. worksheet.write('A1', 'Country') worksheet.write('B1', 'Capital') worksheet.write('C1', 'Domain Name') worksheet.write('D1', 'Population') # close the Excel file via the close() method. workbook.close()
This example writes data to
# import xlsxwriter module import xlsxwriter workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('test2.xlsx') worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet() # Start from the first cell. # Rows and columns are zero indexed. row = 0 column = 0 content = ["Germany", "France", "Spain", "Italy", "Portugal"] # iterating through content list for item in content : # write operation perform worksheet.write(row, column, item) # incrementing the value of row by one # with each iterations. row += 1 workbook.close()
# import xlsxwriter module import xlsxwriter workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('test3.xlsx') # By default worksheet names in the spreadsheet will be worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet("Countries") # Some data we want to write to the worksheet. countries = ( ['Germany', 'Berlin'], ['Spain', 'Madrid'], ['France', 'Paris'], ['Italy', 'Rome'], ) # Start from the first cell. row = 0 col = 0 # Iterate over the data and write it out row by row. for name, score in (countries): worksheet.write(row, col, name) worksheet.write(row, col + 1, capital) row += 1 workbook.close()
