Horizontal text alignment in openpyxl

Question

I\'m tryign to change the text alignment to the center of 2 merged sells, I\'ve found some answers that didn\'t work for my case

currentCell = ws.cell(\'A1\')
cu         


        

Answer 1

None of the other solutions worked for me, since my solution requires openpyxl, and at least in 2.1.5 cell.alignment can't be set directly.

from openpyxl.styles import Style, Alignment

cell = ws.cell('A1')
cell.style = cell.style.copy(alignment=Alignment(horizontal='center')) 

The above copies the current style and replaces the alignment. You can also create a whole new style - with any values not specified taking the default values from https://openpyxl.readthedocs.org/en/latest/styles.html

cell.style = Style(alignment=Alignment(horizontal='center'),font=Font(bold=True))

# or - a tidier way

vals = {'alignment':Alignment(horizontal='center'),
        'font':Font(bold=True),
       }
new_style = Style(**vals)
cell.style = new_style
