Reading data from a Elda spreadsheet

Reading data from an elda spreadsheet is quite similar to reading from a SimaPro .xlsx export file. It is made via the EldaVersionReader class and its method to_process(). It is also possible to do it via the Elda class and its methods read_last_version() and read_all_versions_to_processes().

The constructor of EldaVersionReader will look at the elda template version number and use the parameters specific to this version with EldaTemplateParameters. This allows to read Elda built with previous versions of the Elda template. EldaTemplateParameters contains all the Elda template version specific parameters such as cells and ranges addresses. The default values correspond to the current Elda template and can be replaced by a specific Elda template version with method load_version_parameters().

from eldam.core.elda import Elda, EldaVersionReader

# Reading a specific version of an elda
elda = Elda('path/to/elda.xlsm')
reader = EldaVersionReader(elda, 'V1.3')
process = reader.to_process()

# Reading last version of an elda
elda = Elda('path/to/elda.xlsm')
process = elda.read_last_version().to_process()
