What is the function of openpyxl?

How do I use Excel formulas in Python?

I need to create a formula that allows me to automatically update, every 5 seconds or 1 minute, when a certain row in my excel spreadsheet changes.

I can't figure out how to make it do so, if at all possible. This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work:
Import win32com.client import os. Import sys. Import time. Wb = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
Wb.Visible = False ws = wb.Workbooks.Open("C:UsersJohn D.DocumentsTestsBook1.xlsx")
Wb.Visible = True ws.ChangeCellFormat(4,3,"h:m:s") ws.Range("A7").Close(0)
Os.startfile('Book1') time.sleep(600) os.startfile('Book2') wb = win32com.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
Wb.Open("C:UsersJohn D.DocumentsTestsBook2.xlsx")
Wb.ChangeCellFormat(4,3,"h:m:s") ws.Range("A7").Close(0)
Use a function like this: def formatcell(row, col, formula, range): formula = '=SUM('.range(row, col, formula).value = formula
Then in your code you would change this line: ws.Range("A7").

Is openpyxl still used?

If I google around the last time I saw people use it, was 4 years ago.

But in the meantime, has anyone else switched to openpyxl? I am so happy I did. It works on Windows and Linux. It's not as good as PyOpenGL or other libs, but it works very well. I use it for Excel sheets and spreadsheets.

Yep, I use it for my work. One of our projects is to update the existing software for a large number of Macs to an updated version that supports OpenDocument. We've used it a lot.

I have never had any trouble working with it. It just works on all systems. We're not sure why it hasn't been updated to Python 3.x yet.

There is no reason to not use it. You will miss some things like the matrix class, but it is so easy to use it is worthwhile.

This is a great thread. For what its worth I use both of them quite a bit. When I began my current project I chose openpyxl and have been very happy with it. When I started this project I only had a few months to develop it. I had no experience with python and only basic knowledge of python. Luckily I found the book "The Think Python Programming Book" and learned python, how to write small programs in a few days and started writing a program that opens files and writes them back in OpenOffice format.

To be honest, I don't think I could code anything without using python. It was so easy that the first version was written in a week and the program has grown over time. The main reason I chose it was the simplicity of it. In the beginning when I was learning python I had trouble writing my own classes that do most things. I could never find the documentation I needed so it was frustrating. Openpyxl was easy and simple so I stuck with it.
