excelimportnode Properties

The Excel Import node imports data from Microsoft Excel in the .xlsx file format. An ODBC data source is not required.

Examples

#To use a named range:
node = stream.create("excelimport", "My node")
node.setPropertyValue("excel_file_type", "Excel2007")
node.setPropertyValue("full_filename", "C:/drug.xlsx")
node.setPropertyValue("use_named_range", True)
node.setPropertyValue("named_range", "DRUG")
node.setPropertyValue("read_field_names", True)

#To use an explicit range:
node = stream.create("excelimport", "My node")
node.setPropertyValue("excel_file_type", "Excel2007")
node.setPropertyValue("full_filename", "C:/drug.xlsx")
node.setPropertyValue("worksheet_mode", "Name")
node.setPropertyValue("worksheet_name", "Drug")
node.setPropertyValue("explicit_range_start", "A1")
node.setPropertyValue("explicit_range_end", "F300")
