Grouping and Ungrouping Rows and Columns in Python

Group and Ungroup Management of Rows & Columns in Aspose.Cells for Python via Java

How to Group Rows & Columns in Python

It is possible to group rows or columns by calling the groupRows and groupColumns methods of the Cells collection. Both methods take the following parameters:

• First row/column index, the first row or column in the group.
• Last row/column index, the last row or column in the group.
• Is hidden, a Boolean parameter that specifies whether to hide rows/columns after grouping or not.

Python Code

 def group_rows_columns(self):

\# Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

workbook = self.Workbook(self.dataDir + 'Book1.xls')

\# Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file

worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0)

cells = worksheet.getCells()

\# Grouping first six rows (from 0 to 5) and making them hidden by passing true

cells.groupRows(0,5,True)

\# Grouping first three columns (from 0 to 2) and making them hidden by passing true

cells.groupColumns(0,2,True)

\# Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format

workbook.save(self.dataDir + "Group Rows And Columns.xls")

print "Group Rows And Columns Successfully." 

How to Ungroup Rows & Columns using Python

Ungroup grouped rows or columns by calling the Cells collection’s UngroupRows and UngroupColumns methods. Both methods take the same parameters:

• First row or column index, the first row/column to be ungrouped.
• Last row or column index, the last row/column to be ungrouped.

Python Code

 def ungroup_rows_columns(self):

\# Instantiating a Workbook object by excel file path

workbook = self.Workbook(self.dataDir + 'Group Rows And Columns.xls')

\# Accessing the first worksheet in the Excel file

worksheet = workbook.getWorksheets().get(0)

cells = worksheet.getCells()

\# Ungrouping first six rows (from 0 to 5)

cells.ungroupRows(0,5)

\# Ungrouping first three columns (from 0 to 2)

cells.ungroupColumns(0,2)

\# Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format

workbook.save(self.dataDir + "Ungroup Rows And Columns.xls")

print "Ungroup Rows And Columns Successfully."
