I tried the following, from openpyxl.reader.excel import load_workbook
book = load_workbook(filename='transactions.xlsx') sheet = book.get_sheet_by_name('transactions') print sheet.cell("A12").style.number_format print sheet.cell("A13").style.number_format But there is some problem with the load_workbook package. I get a error in reading .xls file. Could anyone please help me out from this? Its really Urgent for me, Is there any other alternative way to read excel cell display format? -- Warm regards, Ezhilarasan On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 7:34 PM, Larry Martell <larry.mart...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 2:29 AM, Ezhilarasan Chandrasekar > <aezhi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi folks, > > > > I just want to find the cell display format in Excel.
