Python Imbedding a variable into a excel formula-CodePudding

My method of using my DAY variable into a string formula is not working properly. This method of using a variable in SQL queries and file paths a massive amount of times, however I can't figure out why its not now.

SOLVED by encasing the string in """ --- """

date = '09-13'
DAY = int(date[3:])
templateFormula = f'=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$E$2:$E$150"),$D2,INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$K$2:$K$150")))'
print(templateFormula)

expected result:

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A$13&"'!$E$2:$E$150"),$D2,INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A$13&"'!$K$2:$K$150")))

Actual Result

=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$E$2:$E$150"),$D2,INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$K$2:$K$150")))

Apply formula in this manner

        for t, CELLObj in enumerate(WS['E'], 1): 
            if t > 1:
                CELLObj.value = '=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$E$2:$E$150"),$D{0},INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$K$2:$K$150")))'.format(t)

CodePudding user response：

try using format on that string instead:

date = '09-13'
DAY = int(day[3:])
templateFormula = """=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$E$2:$E$150"),$D2,INDIRECT("'"&'Ref Sheet'!$A$1:$A${DAY}&"'!$K$2:$K$150")))""".format(DAY=DAY)
