Questions:
Python can’t accept formula with space in it.
Like this the ‘original data’ sheet
sheet.write_merge(0, 0, 5, 8, xlwt.Formula('IF(Original Data!B4<>"",Original Data!B4,"")'), center)
it will show error
if i use this
sheet.write_merge(0, 0, 5, 8, xlwt.Formula('IF('Original Data'!B4<>"",'Original Data'!B4,"")'), center)
it also show error
if i use this
sheet.write_merge(0, 0, 5, 8, xlwt.Formula("IF('Original Data'!B4<>"",'Original Data'!B4,"")"), center)
it also error
Is there a way to run the formula? I’ll try any suggestion. Thanks
How to&Answers:
You need to either escape the quotes in the string or else use triple quotes at the outer level like this:
sheet.write_merge(0, 0, 5, 8, xlwt.Formula("""IF('Original Data'!B4<>"",'Original Data'!B4,"")"""), center)
See the Python docs about strings, quotes and escaping.
Answer：
sheet.write_merge(0, 0, 5, 8, xlwt.Formula('IF(Original Data!B4<>"",Original Data!B4,"")'), center)
error
raise ExcelFormulaParser.FormulaParseException, "can't parse formula " + s
FormulaParseException: can't parse formula IF(Original data!B3<>"";Original data!B3;"")
next
sheet.write_merge(0, 0, 5, 8, xlwt.Formula('IF('Original Data'!B4<>"",'Original Data'!B4,"")'), center)
error
next
sheet.write_merge(0, 0, 5, 8, xlwt.Formula("IF('Original Data'!B4<>"",'Original Data'!B4,"")"), center)
error
raise ExcelFormulaParser.FormulaParseException, "can't parse formula " + s
FormulaParseException: can't parse formula IF('Original data'!B3<>;'Original data'!B3;)
