使用Python和XlsxWriter导出到xlsx

Question

I´m using XlsxWriter (version 1.0.2) for creating an Excel file, but when I exporting and opening it, an error is showed: “We found a problem with some content in filename.xlsx. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes.” When I click “Yes” button and after: “Close”, the Excel is opening and all is fine, so I can´t understand why this error is showed. I´m using Python 3.6.4, Django 2.0.1, Microsoft Office 2016, Windows 10 and module IO´s Python. I would like to know how to fix that problem.

Added code after comments:

    output = io.BytesIO()
    workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook(output, {'in_memory': True})
    worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet("Sheet1")

Answer 1

There are two issues in your code.

The first is that you cannot merge cells in a table. Excel doesn't allow it. So remove this line:

worksheet.merge_range(mergecel, data[it][0], merge_format)

Also, you shouldn't add an autofilter to the table like this:

worksheet.autofilter(tab)

Instead use the autofilter property of add_table() :

worksheet.add_table(a, {..., 'autofilter': True})

After that the workbook will open without a warning and display like this:

You probably need to adjust the table range as well. Note, you don't need to create a range for the table like this:

tab = 'B3:D'
tab += str(len(data)+3)

The add_table() method, and almost all other methods in XlsxWriter, take (row, col) notation, see the docs .
