Merging Excel cells using Xlsxwriter in Python

Question

I want to merge several series of cell ranges in an Excel file using Python Xlsxwriter, I found the Python command in the Xlsxwriter documentation in this website http://xls

Answer 1

Almost all methods in XlsxWriter support both A1 and (row, col) notation, see the docs. So the following are equivalent for merge_range():

worksheet.merge_range('B4:D4',    'Merged Range', merge_format)
worksheet.merge_range(3, 1, 3, 3, 'Merged Range', merge_format)
