Accessing Table from Cell and Adding Values inside it using Row and Column Offsets

Normally, you add values inside the Table or List Object using Cell.put_value() method. However, sometimes you might need to add values inside the Table or List Object using row and column offsets.

In order to access a Table or List Object from a cell, use the Cell.get_table() method. To add values inside it using the row and column offsets, use the ListObject.put_cell_value method.

The following screenshot shows the source Excel file used in the code. It contains an empty table and highlights cell D5, which lies inside the table. We will access this table from cell D5 using the Cell.get_table() method and then add values inside it using both Cell.put_value() and ListObject.put_cell_value methods.

Example

Screenshots comparing the source and output files

The following screenshot shows the output Excel file generated by the code. As you can see, cell D5 has a value, and cell F6, which is at the offset (2, 2) of the table, also has a value.
