In Excel cell text will vary from Pass to Fail.I have to give background color green for Pass(pass/Passed/passed) and red for Fail(fail/Failed/failed) respectively. How to change the color based on text ?
My Script
import xlwt
workbook = xlwt.Workbook()
worksheet = workbook.add_sheet('Testing')
worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 1, 1,'S.No')
worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 2, 2,'Test Case Description')
worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 3, 3,'Status')
worksheet.write_merge(5, 5, 4, 4,'Remarks')
worksheet.write_merge(6, 6, 1, 1,1)
worksheet.write_merge(7, 7, 1, 1,1)
worksheet.write_merge(6, 6, 2, 2,'Verify Transferring rate')
worksheet.write_merge(7, 7, 2, 2,'Verify Receiving rate')
worksheet.write_merge(6, 6, 3, 3,'Pass')
worksheet.write_merge(7, 7, 3, 3,'Fail')
workbook.save('testexcel.xls')
@Henry:
Modified code :
import xlwt
workbook = xlwt.Workbook()
worksheet = workbook.add_sheet('Status')
passed = xlwt.easyxf('back_color green')
failed = xlwt.easyxf('back_color red')
color = (passed if passorfail in ['pass','Passed','passed'] else
(failed if passorfail in ['fail','Failed','failed'] else xlwt.easyxf()))
worksheet.write_merge(6, 6, 3, 3,passorfail, style = color)
workbook.save('passfail2.xls')
print "Completed"
And it's throwing error when execute ? How to resolve this error ?
