資料結構教學¶

This tutorial gives you a quick introduction to the most common use cases and default behaviour of xlwings when reading and writing values. For an in-depth documentation of how to control the behavior using the options method, have a look at Converters and Options.

在執行以下範例程式碼之前，先確保有匯入 xlwings 套件：

>>> import xlwings as xw

單一儲存格¶

Single cells are by default returned either as float, unicode, None or datetime objects, depending on whether the cell contains a number, a string, is empty or represents a date:

>>> import datetime as dt
>>> sheet = xw.Book().sheets[0]
>>> sheet['A1'].value = 1
>>> sheet['A1'].value
1.0
>>> sheet['A2'].value = 'Hello'
>>> sheet['A2'].value
'Hello'
>>> sheet['A3'].value is None
True
>>> sheet['A4'].value = dt.datetime(2000, 1, 1)
>>> sheet['A4'].value
datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0)

串列¶

一維串列：通常試算表上橫向與縱向的儲存格範圍（n x 1 或是 1 x n 大小的範圍），像是行與列，會以一個 Python 的一維串列表示，這樣也意味著該範圍資料方向的維度也會隨之消失。若想保留維度的訊息，請繼續閲讀下面的章節：
```
>>> sheet = xw.Book().sheets[0]
>>> sheet['A1'].value = [[1],[2],[3],[4],[5]]  # Column orientation (nested list)
>>> sheet['A1:A5'].value
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
>>> sheet['A1'].value = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> sheet['A1:E1'].value
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
```
To force a single cell to arrive as list, use:
```
>>> sheet['A1'].options(ndim=1).value
[1.0]
```
備註

To write a list in column orientation to Excel, use transpose: sheet.range('A1').options(transpose=True).value = [1,2,3,4]

2d lists: If the row or column orientation has to be preserved, set ndim in the Range options. This will return the Ranges as nested lists ("2d lists"):

>>> sheet['A1:A5'].options(ndim=2).value
[[1.0], [2.0], [3.0], [4.0], [5.0]]
>>> sheet['A1:E1'].options(ndim=2).value
[[1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]]

二維的儲存格範圍都會以巢狀串列的形式回傳。當你將一個巢狀串列賦值/指定給一個儲存格範圍時。只需要指定被寫入儲存格範圍的左上角。另外，你也可以使用指定範圍起點與結束點的索引值來將將二維的資料讀取出來。
```
>>> sheet['A10'].value = [['Foo 1', 'Foo 2', 'Foo 3'], [10, 20, 30]]
>>> sheet.range((10,1),(11,3)).value
[['Foo 1', 'Foo 2', 'Foo 3'], [10.0, 20.0, 30.0]]
```

備註

Try to minimize the number of interactions with Excel. It is always more efficient to do sheet.range('A1').value = [[1,2],[3,4]] than sheet.range('A1').value = [1, 2] and sheet.range('A2').value = [3, 4].

範圍擴展¶

You can get the dimensions of Excel Ranges dynamically through either the method expand or through the expand keyword in the options method. While expand gives back an expanded Range object, options are only evaluated when accessing the values of a Range. The difference is best explained with an example:

>>> sheet = xw.Book().sheets[0]
>>> sheet['A1'].value = [[1,2], [3,4]]
>>> range1 = sheet['A1'].expand('table')  # or just .expand()
>>> range2 = sheet['A1'].options(expand='table')
>>> range1.value
[[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]]
>>> range2.value
[[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]]
>>> sheet['A3'].value = [5, 6]
>>> range1.value
[[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]]
>>> range2.value
[[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0], [5.0, 6.0]]

'table' expands to 'down' and 'right', the other available options which can be used for column or row only expansion, respectively.

備註

Using expand() together with a named Range as top left cell gives you a flexible setup in Excel: You can move around the table and change its size without having to adjust your code, e.g. by using something like sheet.range('NamedRange').expand().value.

NumPy arrays¶

NumPy arrays work similar to nested lists. However, empty cells are represented by nan instead of None. If you want to read in a Range as array, set convert=np.array in the options method:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> sheet = xw.Book().sheets[0]
>>> sheet['A1'].value = np.eye(3)
>>> sheet['A1'].options(np.array, expand='table').value
array([[ 1.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  1.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  1.]])

Pandas DataFrames¶

>>> sheet = xw.Book().sheets[0]
>>> df = pd.DataFrame([[1.1, 2.2], [3.3, None]], columns=['one', 'two'])
>>> df
   one  two
0  1.1  2.2
1  3.3  NaN
>>> sheet['A1'].value = df
>>> sheet['A1:C3'].options(pd.DataFrame).value
   one  two
0  1.1  2.2
1  3.3  NaN
# options: work for reading and writing
>>> sheet['A5'].options(index=False).value = df
>>> sheet['A9'].options(index=False, header=False).value = df

Pandas Series¶

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> import numpy as np
>>> sheet = xw.Book().sheets[0]
>>> s = pd.Series([1.1, 3.3, 5., np.nan, 6., 8.], name='myseries')
>>> s
0    1.1
1    3.3
2    5.0
3    NaN
4    6.0
5    8.0
Name: myseries, dtype: float64
>>> sheet['A1'].value = s
>>> sheet['A1:B7'].options(pd.Series).value
0    1.1
1    3.3
2    5.0
3    NaN
4    6.0
5    8.0
Name: myseries, dtype: float64

備註

You only need to specify the top left cell when writing a list, a NumPy array or a Pandas DataFrame to Excel, e.g.: sheet['A1'].value = np.eye(10)

Chunking: Read/Write big DataFrames etc.¶

When you read and write from or to big ranges, you may have to chunk them or you will hit a timeout or a memory error. The ideal chunksize will depend on your system and size of the array, so you will have to try out a few different chunksizes to find one that works well:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
sheet = xw.Book().sheets[0]
data = np.arange(75_000 * 20).reshape(75_000, 20)
df = pd.DataFrame(data=data)
sheet['A1'].options(chunksize=10_000).value = df

And the same for reading:

# As DataFrame
df = sheet['A1'].expand().options(pd.DataFrame, chunksize=10_000).value
# As list of list
df = sheet['A1'].expand().options(chunksize=10_000).value
