Python win32com.client Excel xlTopCount

Question

I'm trying to return only the top 10 values in my pivot table. Here is the VBA

ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("Account Number"). _
        PivotFilters.Add2 Type:=xlTopCount, DataField:=ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
        "PivotTable2").PivotFields("$$"), Value1:=11

I've tried several different appraoches like the below to no avail.

ws.PivotTables(pt_name).PivotFields('Charges').Type=win32c.xlTopCount
ws.PivotTables(pt_name).PivotFields('Charges').AddPivotFilters(ws.PivotTables(pt_name).PivotFields("$$",11).NumberFormat = win32c.xlTopCount

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Your question doesn't include the error message you get ( why not? ) but I am guessing you are getting a NameError at win32c.xlTopCount because there is no module win32c . Unless, of course you have some something like import win32com as win32c in which case you will get an AttributeError.

xlTopCount is a VBA constant, not a PythonWin constant, and in general PythonWin does not have Python analogues for such constants. You're expected to look them up. Checking the documentation for what you are trying to do will quickly show that the value of xlTopCount is 1.

So use 1 instead of the nonexistent constant win32c.xlTopCount .
