    <p>I'm building a python script that will allow me to open a Excel 2010 worksheet and print it out.</p> <p>I got most of the way</p> <pre><code>import win32com.client office = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") wb = office.Workbooks.Open(r"path\to\excel\file\to\print.xlsm") count = wb.Sheets.Count for i in range(count): ws = wb.Worksheets[i] pivotCount = ws.PivotTables().Count for j in range(1, pivotCount+1): #TODO code to refresh each pivot table ws.PrintOut() print "Worksheet: %s - has been sent to the printer" % (ws.Name) </code></pre> <p>As you can see I'm still missing the refreshing of the pivot tables in the worksheet.</p> <p>The VBA code for refreshing is:</p> <pre><code>ActiveSheet.PivotTables(1).PivotCache.Refresh </code></pre> <p>I can't seem to break the code into python win32com syntax. The closest I got is:</p> <pre><code>wb.WorkSheets(5).PivotTables(1).PivotCache.Refresh </code></pre> <p>which gives <code>&lt;bound method CDispatch.Refresh of &lt;COMObject PivotCache&gt;&gt;</code> but no result in the the worksheet.</p> <p>Any help would be highly appreciated! </p> <h2>SOLUTION</h2> <p>I ended up finding the solution myself, but gonna keep the post so it can help all programmers with a similar problem.</p> <pre><code>import win32com.client office = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") wb = office.Workbooks.Open(r"path\to\excel\file\to\print.xlsm") count = wb.Sheets.Count for i in range(count): ws = wb.Worksheets[i] ws.Unprotect() # IF protected pivotCount = ws.PivotTables().Count for j in range(1, pivotCount+1): ws.PivotTables(j).PivotCache().Refresh() # Put protection back on ws.Protect(DrawingObjects=True, Contents=True, Scenarios=True, AllowUsingPivotTables=True) ws.PrintOut() print "Worksheet: %s - has been sent to the printer" % (ws.Name) </code></pre> <p>Don't forget to vote up if you like or used the code.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
