python-read-write-sheet

A Python sample application that loads a sheet, updates selected cells, and saves the results

This is a minimal Smartsheet sample that demonstrates how to

  • Import an XLSX file
  • Load a sheet
  • Loop through the rows
  • Check for rows that meet a criteria
  • Update cell values
  • Write the results back to the original sheet

This sample scans a sheet for rows where the value of the "Status" column is "Complete" and sets the "Remaining" column to zero. This is implemented in the evaluate_row_and_build_updates() method which you should modify to meet your needs.

Setup

Install the smartsheet Python SDK from pypi

  • pip install smartsheet --upgrade

Configure

  • Set the system environment variable SMARTSHEET_ACCESS_TOKEN to the value of your token, obtained from the Smartsheet Account button, under Personal settings

Build and run the application.

  • python python-read-write-sheet.py

The rows marked "Complete" will have the "Remaining" value set to 0. (Note that you will have to refresh in the desktop application to see the changes.)

A log file named rwsheet.log will accumulate information about API calls.
