Line 9 adds the copiedData cell-by-cell to the new file. Line 7 adds another count number variable so we can loop through our copiedData list by columns. Line 6 begins the row loop like the copyRange function. Line 5 creates a count number variable starting with zero(0) so we can start looking through our copiedData lists by rows from the beginning.
copiedData = rangeSelected ( The returned list from your copyRange function). sheetReceiving = temp_sheet (This is the variable for Section12Grades.xlsx with the sheet name, Sheet1. 
endRow = 15 (because we want to paste the data 1 row down.). startRow = 3 (because we want to paste the data 1 row down.). Line 3 starts our pasteRange function and contains the following arguments: We will be up for two more for loops to do this. We want to add the data starting at row 3 this time because we have a title on row 1 and column headers on row 2. We will use that list add it to our Section12Grades.xlsx in Sheet1. Now we have a nested list of all the rows and the information in the columns we require from those rows. It then moves down to the next row and repeats the process continuing through the rows until the loop meets its end at row 14.įinally the copyRange function returns the rangeSelected list to be used at our discretion. Once it finishes this loop, it adds the data from the rowSelected lists into the rangeSelected lists. Line 7 then adds the data from each column to the rowSelected lists. Line 6 loops through each item in each column of the selected row. Each row contains data in each column so we create an empty list ( rowSelected) here in preparation to add the column data to in the next for loop (Line 6). Line 5 starts the for loop through each row. In line 4 we create an empty list called rangeSelected this list will have data from every row we have selected. sheet = sheet ( The name of the sheet variable we are copying the data from which is GradeSample.xlsxsheet Grades). It contains 5 arguments that we could add with our information as follows: In line 3 we create our function copyRange. First, we need to load both the source data and the receiving file. Okay, let’s get started with the program. Loading the Source Data and Receiving File This could be useful if I wanted to save a file for each section. We could just as easily use a template and save the file under a different name – for example, template.xlsx could save as sec12Grade.xlsx. I have put it in the same folder as my Python program.įor the purpose of this example, we have a file that we want to save this data into: Section12Grades.xlsx. The file for this spreadsheet is called: GradeSample.xlsx. The goal of our program is to simply copy the Section 12 results into a new file. The source data for this example is a very simplified version of grade data that I work with day-to-day. But this simple example will be able to load without issue in MS Excel. #How to do find function on pycharm for a spreadsheet code#
You can find the whole code at the end of the post. For your own data you will need to modify the file, sheet and range locations. The following example will take you through the process. To select whole ranges of our data we need to iterate through it by both row and column and then store that data in a list to be pasted to the new file, spreadsheet or location that we desire. Note! Unlike everything else in coding, rows and columns start with one(1) and not zero(0).
This method allows you to access each cell by the row and column as a numerical value. The OpenPyXl library allows you to look at every cell of a file and either copy it or modify it by using the. Quite often, I find that I have to work with ranges of data that I need to either copy and paste into a new file or files, or copy > modify > paste into files.
The library also needs to be installed for you to use. NOTE: This post requires that you have some knowledge of Python and the OpenPyXl library. It helps you to create programs to create and modify files and automate your processes in excel. Specifically, the ‘*.xlsx’ file extension. OpenPy Xl is a Python open library that allows you to read and write Microsoft Excel files.
