Right now I am failing to retrieve values from Excel cells read by COM and Python using the following code:
from comtypes.client import CreateObject
filename=r'testrap.xlsx'
app = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
app.Visible = True
wb = app.Workbooks.Open(filename)
worksheet = wb.sheets(1)
for row in range(1,11):
data = worksheet.Cells(row,1).Value
print(data)
I always get
comtypes.client.lazybind.NamedProperty object at 0x....
printed on the screen instead of the value of the cell.
What am I doing wrong?
According to the documentation for comtypes, properties with arguments are accessed using index notation. wb.Sheets
[1] and worksheet.Cells
[2] are properties with arguments and not methods. In addition, Value
[3] is a property with an optional argument. So this should work:
from comtypes.client import CreateObject
filename=r'testrap.xlsx'
app = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
app.Visible = True
wb = app.Workbooks.Open(filename)
worksheet = wb.Sheets[1]
for row in range(1,11):
data = worksheet.Cells[row, 1].Value()
print(data)
Not on a Windows computer though, so can't test this ATM.
