范围联合上的 xlsxwriter 条件格式

Question

I am trying to apply conditional formatting to a union of ranges in excel, however, it does not seem to be working. This is the code I am trying to execute ( ws is the excel writer's worksheet):

ws.conditional_format('K13:O27, K35:037', {'type': '3_color_scale',
                                       'min_color': '#F8696B',
                                       'mid_color': 'white',
                                       'max_color': '#63BE7B',
                                       'mid_value': '0',
                                       'mid_type': 'num'})

but I am getting the following error message:

cell_1, cell_2 = args[0].split(':')
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Does anyone know if this is doable, and if yes - what is the format of the union operator I should use on my cell_range input variable?

Answer 1

Yes. That is possible using the conditional_format() multi_range parameter:

ws.conditional_format('K13:O27', {'type': '3_color_scale',
                                  'min_color': '#F8696B',
                                  'mid_color': 'white',
                                  'max_color': '#63BE7B',
                                  'mid_value': '0',
                                  'mid_type': 'num',
                                  'multi_range': 'K13:O27 K35:037'})
