Roo

Build Status Code Climate Coverage Status Gem Version

Roo implements read access for all common spreadsheet types. It can handle:

  • Excelx
  • OpenOffice / LibreOffice
  • CSV

Additional Libraries

In addition, the roo-xls and roo-google gems exist to extend Roo to support reading classic Excel formats (i.e. .xls and Excel2003XML) and read/write access for Google spreadsheets.

#Installation

Install as a gem

$ gem install roo

Or add it to your Gemfile

gem 'roo', '2.0.0beta1'

Usage

Opening a spreadsheet

require 'roo'

xlsx = Roo::Spreadsheet.open('./new_prices.xlsx')
xlsx = Roo::Excelx.new("./new_prices.xlsx")

# Use the extension option if the extension is ambiguous.
xlsx = Roo::Spreadsheet.open('./rails_temp_upload', extension: :xlsx)

xlsx.info
# => Returns basic info about the spreadsheet file

Roo::Spreadsheet.open can accept both paths and File instances.

Working with sheets

ods.sheets
# => ['Info', 'Sheet 2', 'Sheet 3']   # an Array of sheet names in the workbook

ods.sheet('Info').row(1)
ods.sheet(0).row(1)

# Set the last sheet as the default sheet.
ods.default_sheet = ods.sheets.last
ods.default_sheet = s.sheets[3]
ods.default_sheet = 'Sheet 3'

# Iterate through each sheet
ods.each_with_pagename do |name, sheet|
  p sheet.row(1)
end

Accessing rows and columns

Roo uses Excel's numbering for rows, columns and cells, so 1 is the first index, not 0 as it is in an Array

sheet.row(1)
# returns the first row of the spreadsheet.

sheet.column(1)
# returns the first column of the spreadsheet.

Almost all methods have an optional argument sheet. If this parameter is omitted, the default_sheet will be used.

sheet.first_row(sheet.sheets[0])
# => 1             # the number of the first row
sheet.last_row
# => 42            # the number of the last row
sheet.first_column
# => 1             # the number of the first column
sheet.last_column
# => 10            # the number of the last column

Accessing cells

You can access the top-left cell in the following ways

s.cell(1,1)
s.cell('A',1)
s.cell(1,'A')
s.a1

# Access the second sheet's top-left cell.
s.cell(1,'A',s.sheets[1])

Querying a spreadsheet

Use each with a block to iterate over each row.

If each is given a hash with the names of some columns, then each will generate a hash with the columns supplied for each row.

sheet.each(id: 'ID', name: 'FULL_NAME') do |hash|
  puts hash.inspect
  # => { id: 1, name: 'John Smith' }
end

Use sheet.parse to return an array of rows. Column names can be a String or a Regexp.

sheet.parse(:id => /UPC|SKU/,:qty => /ATS*\sATP\s*QTY\z/)
# => [{:upc => 727880013358, :qty => 12}, ...]

Use the :header_search option to locate the header row and assign the header names.

sheet.parse(header_search: [/UPC*SKU/,/ATS*\sATP\s*QTY\z/])

Use the :clean option to strip out control characters and surrounding white space.

sheet.parse(:clean => true)

Exporting spreadsheets

Roo has the ability to export sheets using the following formats. It will only export the default_sheet.

sheet.to_csv
sheet.to_matrix
sheet.to_xml
sheet.to_yaml

Excel (xlsx) Support

Stream rows from an Excelx spreadsheet.

xlsx = Roo::Excelx.new("./test_data/test_small.xlsx")
xlsx.each_row_streaming do |row|
  puts row.inspect # Array of Excelx::Cell objects
end

Iterate over each row

xlsx.each_row do |row|
  ...
end

Roo::Excelx also provides these helpful methods.

xlsx.excelx_type(3, 'C')
# => :numeric_or_formula

xlsx.cell(3, 'C')
# => 600000383.0

xlsx.excelx_value(row,col)
# => '0600000383'

Roo::Excelx can access celltype, comments, font information, formulas, hyperlinks and labels.

xlsx.comment(1,1, ods.sheets[-1])
xlsx.font(1,1).bold?
xlsx.formula('A', 2)

OpenOffice / LibreOffice Support

Roo::OpenOffice supports for encrypted OpenOffice spreadsheets.

# Load an encrypted OpenOffice Spreadsheet
ods = Roo::OpenOffice.new("myspreadsheet.ods", :password => "password")

Roo::OpenOffice can access celltype, comments, font information, formulas and labels.

ods.celltype
# => :percentage

ods.comment(1,1, ods.sheets[-1])

ods.font(1,1).italic?
# => false

ods.formula('A', 2)

CSV Support

# Load a CSV file
s = Roo::CSV.new("mycsv.csv")

Because Roo uses the standard CSV library, and you can use options available to that library to parse csv files. You can pass options using the csv_options key.

For instance, you can load tab-delimited files (.tsv), and you can use a particular encoding when opening the file.

# Load a tab-delimited csv
s = Roo::CSV.new("mytsv.tsv", csv_options: {col_sep: "\t"})

# Load a csv with an explicit encoding
s = Roo::CSV.new("mycsv.csv", csv_options: {encoding: Encoding::ISO_8859_1})

Upgrading from Roo 1.13.x

If you use .xls or Google spreadsheets, you will need to install roo-xls or roo-google to continue using that functionality.

Roo's public methods have stayed relatively consistent between 1.13.x and 2.0.0, but please check the Changelog to better understand the changes made since 1.13.x.
