I need to read an excel file in python and get the font color of one particular cell. I have this column that sometimes contains a red value (font color) that is correctly rendered in excel. When i load the same file in openpyxl i have inconsistent values. For example: i have the "code" column that is rendered in excel with a black font. input: code_cell.font.color output: <openpyxl.styles.colors.Color object> Parameters: rgb=None, indexed=None, auto=None, theme=1, tint=0.0, type='theme' I have the same output when i request the font colour of a red cell (for example "pr_cell1"): input: pr_cell1.font.color output: <openpyxl.styles.colors.Color object> Parameters: rgb=None, indexed=None, auto=None, theme=1, tint=0.0, type='theme' THIS TWO SHOULD BE DIFFERENT! I have different result when i ask the colour of a red cell, that is not themed: input: giacord_cell.font.color output: <openpyxl.styles.colors.Color object> Parameters: rgb='FFFF0000', indexed=None, auto=None, theme=None, tint=0.0, type='rgb' There is a way to obtain the rendered color of a themed cell? how is it possible that excel sucesfully render the color while openpyxl can tell the differences between two themed cell? Thank you. this is the code i used to read the excel file. from openpyxl import Workbook, load_workbook wb = load_workbook(file_path, rich_text=True) ##file_path is a string ws = wb.active rows = [ i for i in ws.iter_rows()] code_cell = r[code_index] ##integer index pr_cell= r[pr_index] ##integer index pr_cell1= r[pr_index1] ##integer index giacord_cell = r[giacord_index] ##integer index Continue reading...
