使用 python 和 xlsxwriter 以另一种格式将新文本添加到 excel 单元格中

Question

Hello I've recently embarked on a project that allows me to input some data into a python programme using Tinker. This the programme interface.

With this input after clicking "Go" it'll open an excel spreadsheet and write the start and end time for that specific date. My question is how do I write a code to have a different colour of text for the NEW text without altering say what was in the cell originally using xlsxwriter? Here's an example.

This is the original text/format for say 5th May cell in my excelsheet.

And after clicking Go, I hope to achieve this:

The coding of opening excel, writing, finding the cell, and saving. I'm ok with that. I hope this is a clear enough question and hopefully it's an answer I can use! Thanks!!

Answer 1

I think the GetCharacters function done on a Range, using win32com (pywincom) will do what you want.

ws.Range(cell/range as string).GetCharacters(start,end).Font.Color = [color ID]

After opening the workbook, I was able to do this to make characters 2-5 as Red:

ws.Range('A1').GetCharacters(2,5).Font.Color = -16776961

I got a lot of this from a previous question looking at bolding: How Do I Bold only part of a string in an excel cell with python

To get the color (and there is probably a better way), I went into Excel and used the macro recorded , and just changed the font the red and saw what the macro recorded called that color. So you could get the number ID for the colors you want from that.
