Conversion between cell name and row/column index
Get Cell Name from Row and Column Indices
It is possible to find a cell’s name given the row and column index. This article explains how. Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET provides the CellsHelper.cell_index_to_name method which allows developers to get a cell’s name if they provide the row and column index.

There is a need to replace any such character, which is not allowed as a sheet name with some preset character provided by user. Similarly the length may increase to more than 31 characters which needs to be truncated. Apache POI provides certain features of creating safe names, hence similar feature is provided by Aspose.Cells for Python via .NET to handle all these issues. Following sample code demonstrates this feature:
Output:
this is first name which is cre
