Hey all, I have a def that I have been using but I realized that sometimes I need a LIST with 5 or 6 brands instead of 4 so I want to put LIST outside of the def but I can't wrap my head around a way to get LIST outside the def while still passing the same 4 parameters in the function. I'm sure there is probably a simple answer but I can't seem to think of it.
Thanks in advance, Lance def attributesbyID(row,base,slideID,spreadsheet): sh = wb.Worksheets (spreadsheet) sh.Select() ############### EXCEL SECTION TO GET NUMBERS ############# LIST=((row,base,lastcol,"A13","013"),(row,base,lastcol-1,"A14","014"),(row,base,lastcol-2,"A15","015"),(row,base,lastcol-3,"A16","016"), #brand1 (row+20,base+20,lastcol,"A9","09"),(row+20,base+20,lastcol-1,"A10","010"),(row+20,base+20,lastcol-2,"A11","011"),(row+20,base+20,lastcol-3,"A12","012"),#brand2 (row+40,base+40,lastcol,"A5","05"),(row+40,base+40,lastcol-1,"A6","06" ), (row+40,base+40,lastcol-2,"A7","07" ), (row+40,base+40,lastcol-3,"A8","08" ), #brand3 (row+60,base+60,lastcol,"A1","01"),(row+60,base+60,lastcol-1,"A2","02" ), (row+60,base+60,lastcol-2,"A3","03" ), (row+60,base+60,lastcol-3,"A4","04" )) #brand4 ########################################################## ################ POWERPOINT SECTION ###################### for shape in WB.Slides.FindBySlideID(slideID).Shapes: if (shape.Type== 7): for oROW,oBASE,oCOL,oCELL,oHEADERCELL in LIST: oVALUE = sh.Cells(oROW,oCOL).Value oHEADER = sh.Cells(4,oCOL).Value + " (n=" + str(int(sh.Cells(oBASE,oCOL).Value)) + ")" PWB = WB.Slides.FindBySlideID(slideID).Shapes(shape.Name) oGraph = PWB.OLEFormat.Object oGraph.Application.datasheet.Range(oCELL).Value = oVALUE oGraph.Application.datasheet.Range(oHEADERCELL).Value = oHEADER ########################################################### del oGraph attributesbyID(14,12,31,"Attributes") # attr1 Here is what I want: LIST=((row,base,lastcol,"A13","013"),(row,base,lastcol-1,"A14","014"),(row,base,lastcol-2,"A15","015"),(row,base,lastcol-3,"A16","016"), #brand1 (row+20,base+20,lastcol,"A9","09"),(row+20,base+20,lastcol-1,"A10","010"),(row+20,base+20,lastcol-2,"A11","011"),(row+20,base+20,lastcol-3,"A12","012"),#brand2 (row+40,base+40,lastcol,"A5","05"),(row+40,base+40,lastcol-1,"A6","06" ), (row+40,base+40,lastcol-2,"A7","07" ), (row+40,base+40,lastcol-3,"A8","08" ), #brand3 (row+60,base+60,lastcol,"A1","01"),(row+60,base+60,lastcol-1,"A2","02" ), (row+60,base+60,lastcol-2,"A3","03" ), (row+60,base+60,lastcol-3,"A4","04" ), #brand4 (row+80,base+80,lastcol,"A1","01"),(row+80,base+80,lastcol-1,"A2","02" ), (row+80,base+80,lastcol-2,"A3","03" ), (row+80,base+80,lastcol-3,"A4","04" )) #brand5 def attributesbyID(row,base,slideID,spreadsheet): sh = wb.Worksheets (spreadsheet) sh.Select() ########################################################## ################ POWERPOINT SECTION ###################### for shape in WB.Slides.FindBySlideID(slideID).Shapes: if (shape.Type== 7): for oROW,oBASE,oCOL,oCELL,oHEADERCELL in LIST: oVALUE = sh.Cells(oROW,oCOL).Value oHEADER = sh.Cells(4,oCOL).Value + " (n=" + str(int(sh.Cells(oBASE,oCOL).Value)) + ")" PWB = WB.Slides.FindBySlideID(slideID).Shapes(shape.Name) oGraph = PWB.OLEFormat.Object oGraph.Application.datasheet.Range(oCELL).Value = oVALUE oGraph.Application.datasheet.Range(oHEADERCELL).Value = oHEADER ########################################################### del oGraph attributesbyID(14,12,31,"Attributes") # attr1 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
