如何使用openpyxl从python中的xlsx文件中读取货币符号？

Question

I have an .xlsx file that contains the salary information of international workforce of an organization. I'm extracting some of the their details. All goes fine except for their salaries.

The salary values look like: £10,000 or €34000 and etc. In the excel file, the symbol was added via the Format Cell option. But my code reads only the actual numbers without the currency symbol.

The below is my code:

import openpyxl

wb = openpyxl.load_workbook("International_Employees.xlsx")
for ws in wb:
    for row in iter_rows():
        for cell in row:
            if str(cell.value) == 'SALARY':
                salary = "{1}".format(cell.value, cell.offset(0,1).value)
                print(salary)

The output is simply: 10000 instead of £10,000 or £10000

How do I tell the program to read the symbol as well using openpyxl ?

Answer 1

You could use the number_format property to find out, here is an example of how you could implement that:

c = ws['A1']
fmt = c.number_format
print(fmt) # >>> for me: #,##0.00\ "€"

symbol = re.search(r"[€£]", fmt)
if not symbol:
    print("no currency")
else:
    print(f"{c.value} {symbol.group(0)}") # >>> 1000 €

Update:

Update2:

for ws in wb:
    for row in iter_rows():
        for cell in row:
            print(cell.value, cell.number_format)
