Excel: Apply formating of a sheet(file1) to another sheet(file2)
#1
Hello!

Does python offers the possibility of applying the formatting style from a sheet (from file1) to another sheet(from file2). I would like to this without opening the file and just apply the "format painter" or without trying using macros or VBA s.

This can be done by python or do I need to install additional plugins/add-ons?

How do you expect to read from and write to a file without opening the source and target files? By opening I don't mean starting excel application...
There are plenty of packages to work with excel files. It may depend on file format - xls or xlsx.
For example - relevant section in openpyxl documentation - Working with styles
