I'm using win32com to fill out an excel spreadsheet with some analytic information. I have a cell that I want to be in this form:
This is the problem description:
I can't seem to figure out how to get the text into the cell with python with mixed formatting.
import win32com.client as win32
excel = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application')
wb = excel.Workbooks.Add()
ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
excel.Visible=True
sel = excel.Selection
sel.Value = "this is the command you run to fix it"
sel.Font.Bold = True
ws.Cells(1,1).Value = 'This is the problem description' + sel.Value #makes the whole cell bold
ws.Cells(1,1).Value = "{} {}".format("this is the problem desc",sel) #makes the whole cell bold
The selection object has a Characters attribute, but I can't find any documentation on what it does. I'm at a bit of a loss here, I could use an assist.
Thanks
I finally found it, posting here so our stack overflow overlords can have the answer on hand as well.
Per @ron-rosenfield, the VBA code to pull this off looks like:
Range("A1").Characters(2,5).Font.Bold = true
And similarly, there is a Characters object attribute of the excel WorkSheet's Range
>>> ws.Range("A1").Characters
<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library.Characters 967192>
HOWEVER, the method you need to access a range with that object is GetCharacters(start, length) (index starts at 1 as per usual with the excel com methods)
ws.Range("A1").GetCharacters(2,4).Font.Bold = True
You can use this command to update the boldness of characters in a cell after the fact.
Although you are looking for a win32com solution in the body of your question I'll point out for anyone who gets here via the title that this is also possible in Python with XlsxWriter.
