coloring cells in excel with pandas
You can create a function to do the highlighting...
def highlight_cells():
# provide your criteria for highlighting the cells here
return ['background-color: yellow']
And then apply your highlighting function to your dataframe...
df.style.apply(highlight_cells)
I just had this same problem and I just solved it this week. My problem was not getting the includes to work properly to get the online code that I found working properly.
I am going to assume you mean change the background color not change the font color. If I am wrong clarify your request.
My solution is tied to a particular library. openpyxl
#### This import section is where my mistake was at
#### This works for me
import openpyxl ### Excel files
from openpyxl.styles import PatternFill, Border, Side, Alignment, Protection, Font
from openpyxl.styles import Fill, Color
from openpyxl.styles import Style
from openpyxl.styles.colors import RED
from openpyxl.styles.colors import GREEN
str_xls_PathFileCurrent = str_xls_FileName
### Opens Excel Document
var_xls_FileOpen = openpyxl.load_workbook(str_xls_PathFileCurrent)
### Opens up the Excel worksheet
var_xls_TabName = var_xls_FileOpen.worksheets[0]
### Put the spreadsheet tab names into an array
ary_xls_SheetNames = var_xls_FileOpen.get_sheet_names()
### Open the sheet in the file you working on
var_xls_TabSheet = var_xls_FileOpen.get_sheet_by_name(ary_xls_SheetNames[0])
xls_cell = var_xls_TabSheet['d10']
#### Changes the cell background color
xls_cell.style = Style(fill=PatternFill(patternType='solid'
, fgColor=Color('C4C4C4'))) ### Changes background color
#### Changes the fonts (does not use style)
xls_cell.font = xls_cell.font.copy(color = 'FFFF0000') ### Works (Changes to red font text)
xls_cell.font = xls_cell.font.copy(bold = True) ### Works (Changes to bold font)
xls_cell.font = xls_cell.font.copy(italic= True) ### Works (Changes to Italic Text)
xls_cell.font = xls_cell.font.copy(size = 34) ### Works (Changes Size)
