Get Cell String Value with Format Strategy

Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET provides a method Cell.get_string_value(format_strategy) which can be used to get the string value of the cell with or without any formatting. Suppose, you have a cell with value 0.012345 and you have formatted it to display two decimal places only. It will then display as 0.01 in Excel. You can retrieve string values both as 0.01 and as 0.012345 using the Cell.get_string_value(format_strategy) method. It takes CellValueFormatStrategy enum as a parameter which has the following values

• CellValueFormatStrategy.CELL_STYLE
• CellValueFormatStrategy.DISPLAY_STYLE
• CellValueFormatStrategy.DISPLAY_STRING
• CellValueFormatStrategy.NONE

The following sample code explains the use of Cell.get_string_value(format_strategy) method.

from aspose.cells import CellValueFormatStrategy, Workbook

#  For complete examples and data files, please go to https:# github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET
#  Create workbook
workbook = Workbook()
#  Access first worksheet
worksheet = workbook.worksheets[0]
#  Access cell A1
cell = worksheet.cells.get("A1")
#  Put value inside the cell
cell.put_value(0.012345)
#  Format the cell that it should display 0.01 instead of 0.012345
style = cell.get_style()
style.number = 2
cell.set_style(style)
#  Get string value as Cell Style
value = cell.get_string_value(CellValueFormatStrategy.CELL_STYLE)
print(value)
#  Get string value without any formatting
value = cell.get_string_value(CellValueFormatStrategy.NONE)
print(value)
