I'm trying to run a macro via python but I'm not sure how to get it working...
I've got the following code so far, but it's not working.
import win32com.client
xl=win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xl.Workbooks.Open(Filename="C:\test.xlsm",ReadOnly=1)
xl.Application.Run("macrohere")
xl.Workbooks(1).Close(SaveChanges=0)
xl.Application.Quit()
xl=0
I get the following traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\test.py", line 4, in
xl.Application.Run("macrohere")
File ">", line 14, in Run
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 282, in _ApplyTypes_
result = self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(*(dispid, LCID, wFlags, retType, argTypes) + args)
com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, u'Microsoft Excel', u"Cannot run the macro 'macrohere'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled.", u'xlmain11.chm', 0, -2146827284), None)
EDIT
import win32com.client
xl=win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xl.Workbooks.Open(Filename="C:\test.xlsm",ReadOnly=1)
try:
xl.Application.Run("test.xlsm!testmacro.testmacro")
# It does run like this... but we get the following error:
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "C:\test.py", line 7, in
# xl.Workbooks(1).Close(SaveChanges=0)
# File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 192, in __call__
# return self._get_good_object_(self._oleobj_.Invoke(*allArgs),self._olerepr_.defaultDispatchName,None)
# com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None, None, None, 0, -2147352565), None)
except:
# Except isn't catching the above error... :(
xl.Workbooks(1).Close(SaveChanges=0)
xl.Application.Quit()
xl=0
解决方案
I would except the error is to do with the macro you're calling, try the following bit of code:
Code
import os
import win32com.client
if os.path.exists("excelsheet.xlsm"):
xl=win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xl.Workbooks.Open(Filename="C:\Full Location\To\excelsheet.xlsm", ReadOnly=1)
xl.Application.Run("excelsheet.xlsm!modulename.macroname")
## xl.Application.Save() # if you want to save then uncomment this line and change delete the ", ReadOnly=1" part from the open function.
xl.Application.Quit() # Comment this out if your excel script closes
del xl
Hope that helps
All the best SMNALLY
