excelize-py is a Python port of Go Excelize for XLAM, XLSM, XLSX, XLTM, and XLTX files, with read/write and streaming examples. Examples can create, save, or overwrite files at specified paths; verify paths and test on copies or disposable files before working with important spreadsheets. The installation command does not pin a version, so use a reviewed pinned version in a virtual environment when reproducibility or stronger assurance matters. Requires Python 3.9 or later.

### Installation
```bash
pip install excelize
```
### Create spreadsheet
Here is a minimal example usage that will create spreadsheet file.
```python
import excelize
f = excelize.new_file()
try:
# Create a new sheet.
index = f.new_sheet("Sheet2")
# Set value of a cell.
f.set_cell_value("Sheet2", "A2", "Hello world.")
f.set_cell_value("Sheet1", "B2", 100)
# Set active sheet of the workbook.
f.set_active_sheet(index)
# Save spreadsheet by the given path.
f.save_as("Book1.xlsx")
except (RuntimeError, TypeError) as err:
print(err)
finally:
err = f.close()
if err:
print(err)
```
### Reading spreadsheet
The following constitutes the bare to read a spreadsheet document.
```python
import excelize
try:
f = excelize.open_file("Book1.xlsx")
except (RuntimeError, TypeError) as err:
print(err)
exit()
try:
# Get value from cell by given worksheet name and cell reference.
cell = f.get_cell_value("Sheet1", "B2")
print(cell)
# Get all the rows in the Sheet1.
rows = f.get_rows("Sheet1")
for row in rows:
for cell in row:
print(f"{cell}\t", end="")
print()
except (RuntimeError, TypeError) as err:
print(err)
finally:
# Close the spreadsheet.
err = f.close()
if err:
print(err)
```
### Add chart to spreadsheet file
With Excelize chart generation and management is as easy as a few lines of code. You can build charts based on data in your worksheet or generate charts without any data in your worksheet at all.

```python
import excelize
f = excelize.new_file()
data = [
[None, "Apple", "Orange", "Pear"],
["Small", 2, 3, 3],
["Normal", 5, 2, 4],
["Large", 6, 7, 8],
]
try:
for idx, row in enumerate(data):
cell = excelize.coordinates_to_cell_name(1, idx + 1, False)
f.set_sheet_row("Sheet1", cell, row)
chart = excelize.Chart(
type=excelize.ChartType.Col3DClustered,
series=[
excelize.ChartSeries(
name="Sheet1!$A$2",
categories="Sheet1!$B$1:$D$1",
values="Sheet1!$B$2:$D$2",
),
excelize.ChartSeries(
name="Sheet1!$A$3",
categories="Sheet1!$B$1:$D$1",
values="Sheet1!$B$3:$D$3",
),
excelize.ChartSeries(
name="Sheet1!$A$4",
categories="Sheet1!$B$1:$D$1",
values="Sheet1!$B$4:$D$4",
),
],
title=[excelize.RichTextRun(text="Fruit 3D Clustered Column Chart")],
)
f.add_chart("Sheet1", "E1", chart)
# Save spreadsheet by the given path.
f.save_as("Book1.xlsx")
except (RuntimeError, TypeError) as err:
print(err)
finally:
err = f.close()
if err:
print(err)
```
### Add picture to spreadsheet file
```python
import excelize
try:
f = excelize.open_file("Book1.xlsx")
except (RuntimeError, TypeError) as err:
print(err)
exit()
try:
# Insert a picture.
f.add_picture("Sheet1", "A2", "image.png", None)
# Insert a picture to worksheet with scaling.
f.add_picture("Sheet1", "D2", "image.jpg", excelize.GraphicOptions(
scale_x=0.5,
scale_y=0.5,
))
# Insert a picture offset in the cell with printing support.
f.add_picture("Sheet1", "H2", "image.gif", excelize.GraphicOptions(
print_object=True,
lock_aspect_ratio=False,
offset_x=15,
offset_y=10,
locked=False,
))
# Save the spreadsheet with the origin path.
f.save()
except (RuntimeError, TypeError) as err:
print(err)
finally:
# Close the spreadsheet.
