How to read and write Excel files using the xlrd module in python

This article mainly introduces how to read and write Excel files using the xlrd module in python. It analyzes in detail how to install and use the xlrd module and how to operate Excel files, for more information about how to read and write Excel files using the xlrd module in python, see the following example. Share it with you for your reference. The details are as follows:

1. Install the xlrd Module

Go to the python official website and download http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd.pdf. The python environment has been installed.

II. Introduction

1. Import Module

The Code is as follows:

Import xlrd

2. Open an Excel file to read data

The Code is as follows:

Data = xlrd.open_workbook('excelFile.xls ')

3. Tips

Get a worksheet

The Code is as follows:

Table = data. sheets () [0] # obtain from index order
Table = data. sheet_by_index (0) # obtain from index order
Table = data. sheet_by_name (u'sheet1') # obtain it by name

Get the value of the whole row and the whole column (array)

The Code is as follows:

Table. row_values (I)
Table. col_values (I)

Obtain the number of rows and columns

The Code is as follows:

Nrows = table. nrows
Ncols = table. ncols

Cyclic row List Data

The Code is as follows:

For I in range (nrows ):
Print table. row_values (I)

Cell

The Code is as follows:

Cell_A1 = table. cell (0, 0). value
Cell_C4 = table. cell (2, 3). value

Use row and column Indexes

The Code is as follows:

Cell_A1 = table. row (0) [0]. value
Cell_A2 = table. col (1) [0]. value

Simple Writing

The Code is as follows:

Row = 0
Col = 0
# Type 0 empty, 1 string, 2 number, 3 date, 4 boolean, 5 error
Ctype = 1 value = 'cell value'
Xf = 0 # extended formatting
Table. put_cell (row, col, ctype, value, xf)
Table. cell (0, 0) # cell value'
Table. cell (0, 0). value # cell value'

Iii. Demo code

The Demo code is actually very simple, that is, reading Excel Data.
