# Create an new Excel file and add a worksheet.
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook("demo.xlsx")
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()

# Widen the first column to make the text clearer.
worksheet.set_column("A:A", 20)

# Add a bold format to use to highlight cells.
bold = workbook.add_format({"bold": True})

# Write some simple text.
worksheet.write("A1", "Hello")

# Text with formatting.
worksheet.write("A2", "World", bold)

# Write some numbers, with row/column notation.
worksheet.write(2, 0, 123)
worksheet.write(3, 0, 123.456)

# Insert an image.
worksheet.insert_image("B5", "logo.png")

Notes:

  • This example includes the use of cell formatting via the The Format Class.

  • Strings and numbers can be written with the same worksheet write() method.

  • Data can be written to cells using Row-Column notation or ‘A1’ style notation, see Working with Cell Notation.
