Can we use column headers to specify the column number from which we are parsing the excel sheet using roo
gem? My current code is like this now:
oo = Openoffice.new("simple_spreadsheet.ods")
oo.default_sheet = oo.sheets.first
(2..oo.last_row).each do |line|
date = oo.cell(line,'A')
start_time = oo.cell(line,'B')
end_time = oo.cell(line,'C')
pause = oo.cell(line,'D')
...
end
I would like to parse from column headers instead of specifying columns as 'A' 'B' 'C'..
. Can I acheive this using Roo
?
A cleaner/clearer version of the above is
oo = Openoffice.new("simple_spreadsheet.ods")
oo.default_sheet = file.sheets.first
header = oo.first_row
2.upto(oo.last_row) do |line|
row_data = Hash[*header.zip(row).flatten]
...
end
the original took me a bit to understand because especially as i thought hash was a local variable named hash instead of the class Hash
You can grab the entire header row as an array and hash the entire row key'd on the header row.
oo = Openoffice.new("simple_spreadsheet.ods")
oo.default_sheet = oo.sheets.first
header = oo.row(1)
2.upto(oo.last_row) do |line|
row_data = Hash[header.zip oo.row(line)]
...
end
You could also use row_data[line]
to nest the hashes for later use.
This will use the header row as the keys. The helpful parts are transpose and strip.
def self.excel_to_hash(folder_name, file_name, tab_name)
# Takes an excel file name and a tab name, and returns an array of stripped, transposed rows
# Sample call: my_data = excel_to_hash File.join(Rails.root,'db/data/data_to_import.xlsx'), 'models'
rows = []
file = File.open(File.join(folder_name, file_name), mode = 'r')
excel = Excelx.new(file.path, nil, :ignore)
excel.default_sheet = excel.sheets.index(tab_name) + 1
header = excel.row(1)
(2..excel.last_row).each do |i|
next unless excel.row(i)[0]
row = Hash[[header, excel.row(i)].transpose]
row.each_key{|x| row[x] = row[x].to_s.strip if row[x]}
rows << row
end
return rows
end
valid through Roo gem 1.10.2
