Awesome post. Has anyone had luck copying data from one spreadsheet to another? I’d like to take a big series of data and basically chunk it up into blocks copied into a series of other spreadsheets.

Thanks for any help or replies!

Hi, for Neveen Adel (and others),

you could use a python webapp like Grok (see http://grok.zope.org), a nice mainstream mostly Dutch invention (..).
We read and write spreadsheets all the time webbased (using xlwt and xlrd), roundtripping data-entry (including formulas) and synchronisation with databases, which makes a nice interface for users used to data-entry in spreadsheets.
Making the data-entry intuitive and human takes all the effort.

I would set the response like so:
self.response.setHeader(‘Content-Type’,
‘application/vnd.ms-excel’)
self.response.setHeader(‘Content-Disposition’,
“filename=path_2_ur_spreadsheet.xls”)

But it depends of course on the platform you use.

Hi,
I didn’t find any way in xlwt to suppress/delete a previously created row so that the indexes of the remaining ones are updated.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Hello.

how can i generate wbk in a save as box to let the user the ability to save it instead of using wbk.save() ?

am using the following code to generate save as box:

response.headers['Content-Type'] = \
gluon.contenttype.contenttype(‘.xls’)
response.headers['Content-disposition'] = ‘attachment; filename=projects.xls’\

But how can i make response generate wbk ?

RE “How can I read an excel file using xlrd, then write the calculation results back to the same excel using xlwt?”

Short answer: You can’t.

Long answer: Even excel does not do this; read one of John Machin’s (creator of xlwt) many explanations on the mailing list. e.g.

hi,
i need to know how to open an excel in order add data in it. I do not want to open it just to read using xlrd. I need to open an existing excel sheet and add in data to it. IF it is possible with xlrt, kindly let me know how to do it. If theres some other way pl let me know the procedure in detail.

Thanks
