Python win32com on Microsoft Excel WorksheetFunction

Question

Is there any way to call an Excel WorksheetFunction in Python win32com or any other libraries?

I would like to use formulas like VLookup / Match / Index / SumIfs in Python.

Answer 1

Yes. You can use the WorksheetFunction object on the Application object. For instance, in the particular case of Match , to find the first occurrence of 1.0 in 'B:B' in the first sheet of the first open workbook, you can do

import win32com.client
excel = win32com.client.Dispatch('Excel.Application')
workbook = excel.Workbooks(1)
worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(1)
excel.WorksheetFunction.Match(1.0, worksheet.Range('B:B'), 0)
