adding hyperlinks in some cells openpyxl

Question

I have to generate an excel with summary results. The results are included in a list. Some of the elements are values and some links.

I managed to generate the excel with the right format but not generate the hyperlink in some of the cells

My try: from openpyxl import Workbook

from openpyxl.styles import PatternFill, Border, Side, Alignment, Protection, Font, Fill
from openpyxl.cell import get_column_letter

def summaryMCP(self,result):

            c1=Column('Name',[result[0]])
            c2=Column('R2 check',[result[1]])
            c3=Column('Dir Diff.',[result[2]])

            c4=Column('CHI2 Sm-Sc',[result[3]])#Lets say this one is a hyperlink to one image png
            c5=Column('Rose Sm-Sc',[result[4]])

            s=Sheet("MCP main results", [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5]
            excelMCP([s],"/results.xlsx") 

def excelMCP(self, sheets,foname):
            wb = Workbook()
            ws = wb.active
            #from here format options (a bit long)

My question is can I define that the value is a hyperlink when defining the Column in def summaryMCP and then in excelMCP the format of the link?? And in case, how ? I could not find it so far

Answer 1

If wanting to use Excel's built in hyperlink function directly, you can use the following to format as a link:

'=HYPERLINK("{}", "{}")'.format(link, "Link Name")

eg ws.cell(row=1, column=1).value = '=HYPERLINK("{}", "{}")'.format(link, "Link Name")

Answer 2

This works for me:

wbook.active['A8'].hyperlink = "http://www.espn.com"
wbook.active['A8'].value = 'ESPN'
wbook.active['A8'].style = "Hyperlink"

Answer 3

Try this :

sheet['A1'].hyperlink = "http://stackoverflow.com"
sheet['A1'].value="StackOverflow"

In my try this does not add the formatting that Excel puts with a hyperlink but the cell contents are more like the Excel hyperlink cell than I get with the HYPERLINK tag.

Answer 4

This worked for me.

sheet.column_dimensions["A"].width = 30
sheet.cell(row=1, column=1).hyperlink = "http://www.espn.com"
book.save('links.xlsx')
