Worksheet.Set_Column - Grouping Column Issue

Hi,

I am using XlsxWriter to add grouping to columns dynamically through iterations, but it appears to do incorrectly group columns.

I am using Python version 3.6.3 and XlsxWriter 1.1.5

Here is some code that demonstrates the problem:

import xlsxwriter

        for i in range(11, ColEnd):
            if ColNum == 6:
                ColNum = 1
            if ColNum == 1:
                secondCol = i +4
                SummaryTab.set_column('{}:{}'.format(xlsxwriter.utility.xl_col_to_name(i),
                                               xlsxwriter.utility.xl_col_to_name(secondCol)), 15, None, {'level': 1})
            ColNum += 1

SummaryReport.close()

Currently using ‘{}:{}’ to insert the column letter dynamically as it iterates through the numbers, however it does not take the second argument correctly. It will only group the first column rather than the 4 column range.

Can you submit a small, complete example that demonstrates the issue. A segment of the code isn’t helpful.

Note also, set_column() can take a numeric range (for example 0, 2 instead of ‘A:C’). That isn’t related to your issue but it is more efficient. See the set_column() docs: https://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/worksheet.html#worksheet-set-column

I removed a bunch of code and change some things but the below works.

Good. Thanks for letting me know. I’ll close the issue.
