Copy Range Data with Style

Copy Range Data Only explained how to copy the data from a range of cells to another range. Specifically, it process applied a new set of styles to the copied cells. Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET can also copy a range complete with formatting. This article explains how.

Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET provides a range of classes and methods for working with ranges, for example, create_range(upper_left_cell, lower_right_cell), StyleFlag and apply_style(style, flag).

This example:

1. Creates a workbook.
2. Fills a number of cells in the first worksheet with data.
3. Creates a Range.
4. Creates a Style object with specified formatting attributes.
5. Applies the style to the data range.
6. Creates a second range of cells.
7. Copies data with the formatting from the first range to the second range.

#  Implement font attribute

#  Implement the shading / fill color.

#  Implment border attributes.

#  Set the Range style.
range.apply_style(style, flag1)
#  Create a second range (C10:F12).
range2 = cells.create_range("C10", "F12")
#  Copy the range data with formatting.
range2.copy(range)
dataDir = dataDir + "CopyRange.out.xlsx"
#  Save the excel file.
workbook.save(dataDir)
