Creating Excel files programmatically has always been a chore. Current libraries offer limited flexibility, especially when you need more than a basic table. That's where Poi comes in, offering you a simple, intuitive, yet powerful DSL to make Excel files exactly the way you want them.
pip install poifrom poi import Sheet, Cell
sheet = Sheet(
root=Cell("hello world")
)
sheet.write('hello.xlsx')
See, it's pretty simple and clear.
from typing import NamedTuple
from datetime import datetime
import random
from poi import Sheet, Table
class Product(NamedTuple):
name: str
desc: str
price: int
created_at: datetime
img: str
data = [
Product(
name=f"prod {i}",
desc=f"desc {i}",
price=random.randint(1, 100),
created_at=datetime.now(),
img="./docs/assets/product.jpg",
)
for i in range(5)
]
columns = [
{
"type": "image",
"attr": "img",
"title": "Product Image",
"options": {"x_scale": 0.27, "y_scale": 0.25},
},
("name", "Name"),
("desc", "Description"),
("price", "Price"),
("created_at", "Create Time"),
]
sheet = Sheet(
root=Table(
data=data,
columns=columns,
row_height=80,
cell_style={
"color: red": lambda record, col: col.attr == "price" and record.price > 50
},
date_format="yyyy-mm-dd",
align="center",
border=1,
)
)
sheet.write("table.xlsx")
