After trying to use openpyxl to try to know which styles is applied in order to get the the actual background color of a cell after the conditional formatting has been applied and realized that I would have to write a formula parser (and it makes no sense to re-write excel and I would have to deal with chained formula cell values, etc).
I am now reaching the PyUno interface to get access via a libreoffice instance running headless and reaching the XSheetConditionalEntry object trough the PyOO interface.
Looks that I have reached the exact same place, I have the cell and the formula; but no way of knowing which of the conditional formatting styles applies or not:
def processFile(filename):
soffice = subprocess.Popen(officeCommand, shell=True)
desktop = pyoo.Desktop(pipe='hello')
doc = desktop.open_spreadsheet(filename)
sheet = doc.sheets['STOP FS 2023']
cell = sheet[5,24]
cellUno = cell._get_target()
print(f"{cellUno.getPropertyValue('CellBackColor')=}")
print(f"{cellUno.getPropertyValue('CellStyle')=}")
for currentConditionalFormat in cellUno.getPropertyValue('ConditionalFormat'):
print(f"{currentConditionalFormat.getStyleName()=}")
print(f"{currentConditionalFormat.getOperator()=}")
getting the following results
cellUno.getPropertyValue('CellBackColor')=-1
cellUno.getPropertyValue('CellStyle')='Default'
currentConditionalFormat.getStyleName()='ConditionalStyle_4'
currentConditionalFormat.getOperator()=<Enum instance com.sun.star.sheet.ConditionOperator ('BETWEEN')>
currentConditionalFormat.getStyleName()='ConditionalStyle_3'
currentConditionalFormat.getOperator()=<Enum instance com.sun.star.sheet.ConditionOperator ('NONE')>
currentConditionalFormat.getStyleName()='ConditionalStyle_2'
currentConditionalFormat.getOperator()=<Enum instance com.sun.star.sheet.ConditionOperator ('NONE')>
currentConditionalFormat.getStyleName()='ConditionalStyle_1'
currentConditionalFormat.getOperator()=<Enum instance com.sun.star.sheet.ConditionOperator ('NONE')>
The style that is being applied is the ConditoinalStyle_3
This post has helped a bit but it is intended to work inside of a macro, and looks like heir forum sign up is broken, as I would would have tried to ask the same question over there.
