How to get value present in a merged cell?

Question

I want to get value of a merged cell that has range from D3 to H3 using openpyxl library. As per my understanding most libraries read data from 1st cell itself. Thus the mer

Answer 1

As soon as the only answer is incorrect (there is no more cells_from_range function in openpyxl) I suggest alternative way. I tried and it worked for my case:

Input is sheet and Cell. But if you need, it can be easily modified to accept string cell representation like 'A3'.

import openpyxl


def getValueWithMergeLookup(sheet, cell):
    idx = cell.coordinate
    for range_ in sheet.merged_cell_ranges:
        merged_cells = list(openpyxl.utils.rows_from_range(range_))
        for row in merged_cells:
            if idx in row:
                # If this is a merged cell,
                # return  the first cell of the merge range
                return sheet.cell(merged_cells[0][0]).value

    return sheet.cell(idx).value
