“show formulas” in excel using python & win32com

问题

How can display/show all of the formulas in an Excel workbook using Python3 and win32com.client, like I can do interactively with Cntrl-`

I believe I have to use the Windows DisplayFormulas Property but I don't know how to access the ActiveWindow to do this in Python.

Here is the code I have up to open a spreadsheet and the first workbook and save it:

import win32com.client

excel = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(wb_path)
ws_index_list = [1] 
wb.WorkSheets(ws_index_list).Select()

// would like to toggle to show the formulas here before saving

wb.ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat(0, pdf_path)
wb.Close(False)

From the keyboard I'd simply enter Cntrl-`, I'd like to automate this as I'm processing about 30 excel spreadsheets.

You will first need to access the Window object of the Excel application. You can then call the DisplayFormulas method:

import win32com.client

excel = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(wb_path)
ws_index_list = [1] 
wb.WorkSheets(ws_index_list).Select()

#toggle DisplayFormulas
for w in excel.Windows:
   w.DisplayFormulas = True

wb.ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat(0, pdf_path)
wb.Close(False)
