The provided Python function
fill_merged_cells
for filling merged cells in an Excel spreadsheet contains a few areas that could be optimized or improved:Handling Merged Cells: The current implementation does not explicitly handle merged cells within the loop over rows and columns. Ensuring that each cell value is correctly retrieved even if it's part of a merged cell group can be necessary (though this depends on the specific requirements).
Empty Header Handling: The header initialization should ensure that headers are populated even if some cells have missing values. However, the use of spaces indicates manual handling, which may lead to confusion.
Optimization:
Validation: Add checks to ensure that all inputs are valid objects before proceeding, particularly when dealing with worksheets and dictionaries.
Here’s an enhanced version of the function incorporating these considerations:
This code includes logic to process both regular DataFrames and those potentially holding merged cells by extracting headers manually and adjusting for empty cells. It also suggests a general approach to integrating multiple sheets into a unified dataframe structure. Adjustments will likely be needed based on specific use case needs.
