from ironxl import *
from ironxl import *
PYTHON

3.3. Creating and Modifying Excel Files

To create a new Excel file with IronXL, you can use the following code snippet:

from ironxl import *

# Create a new workbook
workbook = WorkBook.Create()

# Create a new worksheet named "new_sheet"
worksheet = workbook.CreateWorkSheet("new_sheet")

# Set the value of cell A1
worksheet["A1"].Value = "Hello, IronXL!"

# Save the workbook as "output.xlsx"
workbook.SaveAs("output.xlsx")
from ironxl import *

# Create a new workbook
workbook = WorkBook.Create()

# Create a new worksheet named "new_sheet"
worksheet = workbook.CreateWorkSheet("new_sheet")

# Set the value of cell A1
worksheet["A1"].Value = "Hello, IronXL!"

# Save the workbook as "output.xlsx"
workbook.SaveAs("output.xlsx")
PYTHON

This code creates a new Excel workbook with a single worksheet and writes the text "Hello, IronXL!" to cell A1. The Excel workbook is then saved as "output.xlsx" in the current directory.

3.4. Reading Data from Excel Files

To read data from an existing Excel file, you can use the following code snippet:

from ironxl import *

# Load an existing workbook
workbook = WorkBook.Load("output.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet
worksheet = workbook.WorkSheets[0]

# Retrieve the value from cell A1
cell_value = worksheet["A1"].Value

# Print the cell value
print(cell_value)
from ironxl import *

# Load an existing workbook
workbook = WorkBook.Load("output.xlsx")

# Access the first worksheet
worksheet = workbook.WorkSheets[0]

# Retrieve the value from cell A1
cell_value = worksheet["A1"].Value

# Print the cell value
print(cell_value)
PYTHON

This code loads an existing Excel file named "output.xlsx", retrieves the value from cell A1, and prints it to the console.

# Add a series to the chart
series = chart.AddSeries("A1:A5", "B1:B5")
series.Title = "Line Chart"

# Set legend position
chart.SetLegendPosition(LegendPosition.Bottom)

# Position the chart on the worksheet
chart.Position.LeftColumnIndex = 2
chart.Position.RightColumnIndex = chart.Position.LeftColumnIndex + 3

# Plot the chart
chart.Plot()

# Save the workbook with the chart
workbook.SaveAs("CreateLineChart.xlsx")
from ironxl import *

# Load an existing workbook
