A basic embedding process
The process of embedding matplotlib and plotnine visualizations into Excel typically involves exporting your plots or charts as image files (such as PNG or JPEG) and then importing these images into your Excel sheet. While this approach doesnât offer the same level of interactivity as some other methods, itâs a straightforward way to enhance your Excel reports with data visualizations generated in Python.
Here are the basic steps:
Generate your visualization: Create your matplotlib or plcotnine visualization in your Python script or Jupyter notebook. Customize it to meet your data analysis and reporting requirements.
Export as an image: Use matplotlib or plotnine to save your visualization as an image file. Common image formats such as PNG or JPEG work well for this purpose. Ensure that you save the image in a location accessible from your Excel sheet.
Insert the image in Excel: This can be done in two ways:Option 1: Here, we manually insert the image. Open your Excel sheet and navigate to the location where you want to insert the visualization. Use Excelâs Insert or Picture option to import the image file you generated in step 2. You can then resize and position the image as needed within your Excel sheet.
Option 2: Insert the image programmatically from Python using pywin32: import win32com.client as win32 # Initialize Excel excel = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application') excel.Visible = True # Create a new workbook workbook = excel.Workbooks.Add() # Define the (absolute) image path image_path = 'path\to\your\image.png' # Insert the image into a specific sheet and cell sheet = workbook.ActiveSheet cell = sheet.Range("A1") # You can specify the cell where you want to insert the image # Add the image to the worksheet (note that Width and Height might need to be adjusted) sheet.Shapes.AddPicture(image_path, LinkToFile=False, SaveWithDocument=True, Left=cell.Left, Top=cell.Top, Width=300, Height=200) # Save the workbook workbook.SaveAs('your_excel_with_image.xlsx') # Close Excel excel.Application.Quit()
