How to Autofit Row

The most straightforward approach to auto‑sizing the width and height of a row is to call the Worksheet class’s autoFitRow method. The autoFitRow method takes a row index (of the row to be resized) as a parameter.

Python Code

 def autofit_row(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)

# Auto‑fitting the 3rd row of the worksheet
worksheet.autoFitRow(2)

# Auto‑fitting the 3rd row of the worksheet based on the contents in a range of
# cells (from 1st to 9th column) within the row
#worksheet.autoFitRow(2,0,8) # Uncomment this line if you want to do AutoFit Row in a range of cells. Also, comment line 288.

# Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format
workbook.save(self.dataDir + "Autofit Row.xls")
print "Autofit Row Successfully."

How to Autofit Column

The easiest way to auto‑size the width of a column is to call the Worksheet class’s autoFitColumn method. The autoFitColumn method takes the column index (of the column about to be resized) as a parameter.

Python Code

 def autofit_column(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)

# Auto‑fitting the 4th column of the worksheet
worksheet.autoFitColumn(3)

# Auto‑fitting the 4th column of the worksheet based on the contents in a range of
# cells (from 1st to 9th row) within the column
#worksheet.autoFitColumn(3,0,8) # Uncomment this line if you want to do AutoFit Column in a range of cells. Also, comment line 310.

# Saving the modified Excel file in default (that is Excel 2003) format
workbook.save(self.dataDir + "Autofit Column.xls")
print "Autofit Column Successfully."
