How to set column(s) as 'text' data type?
See original GitHub issueCurrently, I am using this codes to write data into an excel file.
.....
workbook = Workbook(filename + '.xlsx', {'strings_to_numbers': True})
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet('Results')
.....
worksheet.write(r, c, col)
.....
In the Excel that is created the data type for the columns are always ‘General’.
Can I programmatically set it as ‘Text’ through xlsxwriter?
