Complete code from openpyxl import load_workbook Notice that I only included two babies in the output. When we are finished we indent our result with Yattags indent method.įinally, we save our file. We use a list comprehension to get all the values from the cells. The iter_rows method returns a generator with all the cells. We start looping through our sheet with the iter_rows method. The asis method enables us to input any string as the next line. We fill the headers with Yattags asis() method. Generating the XML from ExcelĪfter the imports, we load the workbook and the worksheet. We then iterate through the first two rows with the iter_rows method. To access the data with OpenPyXL, do the following: from openpyxl import load_workbookįor row in ws.iter_rows(min_row=1, max_row=2, min_col=1, max_col=4):įirst, we load the workbook with load_workbook, and then select the first worksheet.
You can download the Excel file from my website here. The worksheet has the following headers: Year of Birth, Gender, Child's First Name, Count, Rank. I have created a workbook named NY_baby_names.xlsx with one sheet of data, Sheet1. You can access the dataset from the link at the bottom of this post. In our example, we are using popular baby names in New York City. We also need to select the sheet we are reading the data from. To load an existing workbook in OpenPyXl we need to use the load_workbook method. To install OpenPyXL with pip: pip install openpyxl Using OpenPyXL OpenPyXL is a library for interacting with Excel 2010 files. To start using Yattag we need to import Doc from Yattag and create our Doc, tag and text with Doc().tagtext().
To install Yattag with pip: pip install yattag Using YattagĪdding a tag with Yattag is as easy as using the With keyword: with tag('h1'): I had been searching for this kind of library in order to more easily generate different XML files. That pretty much sums Yatttag up, I find it as a simple, easy to use library that just works. Yattag is a Python library for generating HTML or XML in a pythonic way. Yattag is described in its documentation as following: We will be using the Yattag package to generate our XML file and the OpenPyXL package for reading our Excel data. In this post, we will take a look into how we can generate Extensible Markup Language (XML) files from an Excel file with Python.
