I've uploaded a zipfile called excelByComExample.zip.

Contains 3 files
- python script
- Excel file containing graph (in xlsx format)
- csv file containing new data
depending on where you unzip it you will need to change the filenames
in the python script.

However when you run it should see

Yes please, that sounds extremely helpful.

I had to use COM for exactly the same reason.

If it helps I can post an example from what I did, which updates the
data in the Excel sheet from a CSV.

Cheers

Sorry, no. As the README says, xlrd skips over charts.

Hi,
Using XLRD and XLUtils:
Is it possible to open an excel file that contains graphs in sheet 1
and data in sheet2, and then modify sheet 2 and save it, without
losing the graphs in sheet 1?

Extremely inefficient.
Ummmm ... why not
if sh.cell(i, 1).value in sys.argv[1:]:
?
Better: at start-up, do:
argset = set(sys.argv[1:])
then each iteration do:
if sh.cell(i, 1).value in argset:
For alliteration aficionados and fans of Sesame Street, today's letter
is "b". The for statement is bordering on being a bit bloated, baroque

Thanks, I'll have to check that. I found also this:

for grp in sys.argv[1:]:
for i in range(len(sh.col_values(8))):
if sh.cell(i, 1).value == grp:
hlo.append(sh.cell(i, 8).value)

...then I suggest you have a look at argparse:

The above would then likely become:

First things first -- the majority of the people you find on this
list, contribute their own time and energy towards helping (we have
jobs, families and mortgages to pay etc..) -- perhaps read that as
"we're not going to do everything for you". (I 'awoke' in a good mood,

Newbie: How to check for multiple command line arguments

johannesr...@gmail.com (johannes rara) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:34:54 UT

Hi,
I would like to use multiple command line arguments in my script. If
one or all of them are found, the script will produce an output for
them (from excel sheet). Please see the code below. Basically the
problem is here:
if sh.cell(i, 1).value == sys.argv[1]:
and I would like to use
if sh.cell(i, 1).value == sys.argv[1:]:

i use something like

for i in range(sh.nrows):
if sh.cell_value(rowx=i, colx=2) == 'temp':
print sh.cell_value(rowx=i, colx=8)

good luck :-)
