I have a question for you, I'm working on a new jenkins instance and as a result of the job I get a csv file with errors if there were any during the test. I would like to generate an HTML report based on this csv file, which would be more convenient to use than opening excel and loading the csv file to see the errors. I came across a plugin like HTML Publisher, unfortunately I don't know if it supports generating HTML reports based on csv files. Alternatively, you could do something like this with a python script and show the resulting html file in artifats. Do you have any ideas ??

For a Python web project (with Django) I developed a tool that generates an XLSX file. For questions of ergonomics and ease for users I would like to integrate this excel on my HTML page.
So I first thought of converting the XLSX to an HTML array, with the xlsx2html python library. It works but since I can’t determine the desired size for my cells or trim the content during conversion, I end up with huge cells and tiny text..
I found an interesting way with the html tag associated with OneDrive to embed an excel window into a web page, but my file being in my code and not on Excel Online I cannot import it like that. Yet the display is perfect and I don’t need the user to interact with this table.
I have searched a lot for other methods but apart from developing a function to browse my file and generate the script of the html table line by line, I have the feeling that I cannot simply use a method to convert or display it on my web page.
I am not accustomed to this need and wonder if there would not be a cleaner method to display an excel file in html.
Does it make sense to develop a function that builds my html table script in str? Or should I find a library that does it? Maybe there is a specific Django library ?
Thank you for your experience
I am simply trying to upload a csv file using RST formatting in my Python code.
I am following the documentation: https://sublime-and-sphinx-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tables.html (towards the bottom of the page there are instructions to upload a csv file), but I can't get it to work.
Here is my RST code:
.. csv-table::
:file: _static/JSE/JSE_data_gaps.csv
:widths: 1, 3
:header-rows: 1
When I run the build with the above code, the csv doesn't appear in my html webpage.
I am not sure what numbers I should be inserting for the widths and header-rows above, any ideas? I suspect this may be causing it not to appear in my webpage, as it states in the documentation that the parameters you set must match that which is in the csv.
I want to automate some report creation. Some elements that I need in the report are saved as rich text, so an HTML file. There are a couple of libraries to do this, such as html2pdf or pdfforge. However, I would also like to add extra information to the report that is not located in this HTML file, like for example a title or some information queried from the DB that is not necessarily in the HTML file.
Does anyone have a suggestion to do this?
Thanks in advance.
I have a web scraper written in Python, fetching raw data from the HTML of a page and writing it onto a 97-2003 Workbook Excel file, using the Xlwt library. I then have a .dtsx file with some tasks, where one of them is an Excel Source task to fetch data from an Excel file. Later down the road, that data is inserted into a SQL Server table.
If I try to access my newly-generated Excel file with said task, I get an OLE DB error
External table is not in the expected format
And I cannot run my dtsx. However, if I manually access the Excel file through my File Explorer, open it and close it again (don't even need to save it), suddenly my SSIS task works without a problem, fetching all the columns and all the info. What could possibly be causing this behavior?
External table is not in the expected format
The error above happens when the Excel file is corrupted and cannot be opened by Access Database Engine (OLE DB provider) even if you can open the file from Excel.
In general, the solution is to open this Excel manually which will auto repair it. In a similar case and if the process is repeated many times, you can automate opening and repairing excel using a C# script using Interop.Excel library.

What .xlsx file format is this?

This is not a duplicate although the issue has been raised in this forum in 2011Getting a hyperlink URL from an Excel document, 2013 Extracting Hyperlinks From Excel (.xlsx) with Python and 2014 Getting the URL from Excel Sheet Hyper links in Python with xlrd; there is still no answer.
After some deep dive into the xlrd module, it seems the Data_sheet.hyperlink_map.get((row, col)) item trips because "xlrd cannot read the hyperlink without formatting_info, which is currently not supported for xlsx" per #alecxe at Extracting Hyperlinks From Excel (.xlsx) with Python.
Question: has anyone has made progress with extracting URLs from hyperlinks stored in an excel file. Say, of all the customer data, there is a column of hyperlinks. I was toying with the idea of dumping the excel sheet as an html page and proceed per usual scraping (file on local drive). But that's not a production solution. Supplementary: is there any other module that can extract the url from a .cell(row,col).value() call on the hyperlink-cell. Is there a solution in mechanize? Many thanks.
I had the same problem trying to get the hyperlinks from the cells of a xlsx file. The work around I came up with is simply converting the Excel sheet to xls format, from which I could manage to get the hyperlinks withount any trouble, and once finished the editing, I formatted it back to the original xlsx file.
I don't know if this should work for your specific needs, or if the change of format implies some consecuences I am not aware of, but I think it's worth a try.
I was able to read and use hyperlinks to copy files with openpyxl. It has a cell_obj.hyperlink and cell_obj.hyperlink.target which will grab the link value. I made a list of the cell row col values which had hyperlinks, then appended them to a list and then looped through the list to move the linked files.
