ENH: Add autofilter parameter to DataFrame.to_excel #62928

Hi @rhshadrach, I hope you’re doing well. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the PR! I think this is looking good. Unfortunately it seems that odfpy does not provide a reasonable way to add an autofilter. If that is the case, I think we should raise when autofilter=True is passed and this engine is used. Can you add this and a test.
Can you also add tests for:
- nonzero startrow / startcol
- A DataFrame with MultiIndex columns (also called a hierarchical index) with both
merge_cells=Trueandmerge_cells=False.
Okay, Im working on them now |

Hi @rhshadrach . |
…ge for xlsxwriter/openpyxl; keep engine_kwargs semantics intact
…ter and a user guide snippet
- Remove duplicate to_excel function code in generic.py - Add NotImplementedError for odfpy engine when autofilter=True - Remove broad exception handling from autofilter implementations - Add comprehensive tests for nonzero startrow/startcol - Add tests for MultiIndex columns with merge_cells=True and False - Improve tests to verify each column has autofilter - Remove redundant test_to_excel test - Remove redundant pytest.importorskip from test functions
…port - Keep ExcelWriter and ExcelFormatter in TYPE_CHECKING for type hints - Import both at runtime inside to_excel method to avoid circular import

@antznette1 - tests are failing, are you able to run them locally? Also I want to mention #62994 is looking to add the same feature and appears close to being ready. |
Yes, I can run locally. I realized my branch currently adds tests that assert behavior for an API not on main yet (and I left some debug prints). I’m cleaning that up now. |

Adds an
autofilterparameter toDataFrame.to_excel()to enable Excel autofilterover the header row and data range when writing files.
Usage:
Supports
xlsxwriterandopenpyxlengines. Whenautofilter=True, applies anautofilter over the written data range (header row through last data row).
Closes #62651
