Hey Python enthusiasts! ?

I'm excited to share a new open-source library I've been working on: ExcelHelper.
If you've ever found yourself wrestling with Excel files in Python, this library might just make your life a whole lot easier.

What is ExcelHelper?

ExcelHelper is a Python library that simplifies Excel manipulation using the openpyxl library. It provides an intuitive interface for common Excel operations, making it easier to work with spreadsheets programmatically.

Key Features:

• ? Easy workbook handling (open, create, save)
• ? Simplified cell, row, and column operations
• ? Range operations for bulk data handling
• ? Formula support with automatic cell reference adjustment
• ? Built-in Excel functions (SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, IF, VLOOKUP)
• ? Easy style application (fonts, colors, alignments)
• ? Auto-fit columns

Why ExcelHelper?

1. Simplicity: Perform complex Excel operations with just a few lines of code.
2. Readability: Your code remains clean and easy to understand.
3. Time-saving: Reduce the time spent on Excel-related tasks in your Python projects.

Quick Example:

excel = ExcelHelper("example.xlsx")
excel.create_new_workbook()

# Write data
excel.write_range(1, 1, [
    ["Product", "Quantity", "Price"],
    ["Apple", 10, 0.5],
    ["Banana", 15, 0.3],
    ["Orange", 8, 0.7]
])

# Calculate totals
excel.set_formula(2, 4, "=B2*C2")
excel.set_formula(3, 4, "=B3*C3")
excel.set_formula(4, 4, "=B4*C4")

# Sum quantities and totals
excel.sum_range(2, 2, 4, 2, 5, 2)  # Quantities
excel.sum_range(2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 4)  # Totals

excel.auto_fit_columns()
excel.save_workbook()
