How To Create Python Export To Excel Function

How To Create Python Export To Excel Function:-

This is step by step tutorial that explains how to createpython function for exporting data in Excel file. 
To start programming in python you need to install python. In my previous article How To Create Your First Python Program I explained how to do it. After installing python you should install python package “xlwt”. Download xlwt from this LINK to some directory, for example site-packages . Open Command Prompt and navigate to site-packages/xlwt directory . 

and run command : 

python setup.py install

This command will run setup.py script which will add xlwt to your python
Now you can start programming. You can found complete code about export to excelfunction on my git hub account github.com/blaz1988/ExportToExcel/blob/master/excel.py
Let’s start programming…
First you need to import necessary packages

from xlwt import *
import glob
import os

* import all functions from xlwt . Xlwt offer functions for writing data in excel files, adding sheets and similar… 
Then you should define function , for example I define function with one argument. That argumet is list of data that will be exported to Excel 

def excel_fun(data):

After that define your wokrbook and styles:

wbook = Workbook()
style1 = easyxf(
‘font: name Arial, bold yes, colour black, italic yes, height 180;’
‘alignment: vertical center, horizontal center, wrap yes;’
‘borders: left medium, right medium, top medium, bottom medium;’
‘pattern: pattern solid, fore_colour light_orange;’)
style2 = easyxf(
‘font: name Arial, colour black, height 180;’
‘alignment: vertical center, horizontal center, wrap yes;’)

Add sheet name with :

sheetName=”My Sheet”
wsheet = wbook.add_sheet(sheetName)

You can define width of column, for example I define first column width with:

wsheet.col(0).width = 10000

To write data in Excel file use xlwt function called write, for example

wsheet.write(0, 0, “Website”, style1)

It writes string Website in column 0 and row 0 with style1. 
You can call function with excel_fun(websites), where websites is variable structured as list that containes dictionaries 

websites=[{"web":"http://najponude.com/","visits":10000},
{"web":"http://kako-napraviti.geek.hr/","visits":5000},
{"web":"http://hackspc.com","visits":8000}]

This function will export data from variable websites to excel file that looks like: 

This function can be your “template” code for exporting data in excel. Function as argument accept list of dictionaries, which is format of JSON files , so it can take JSON file as argument too.
