Hello community,

to automate my calculations I would like to save results of a spreadsheet calculation as seen below to compute at display the results of further calculations with sagetex.

How could I save the data from a spreadsheet to use them with sagetex?

What for a data-structure/type would you suggest?

csv is pretty standard, and Python can import them pretty easily for further Sage/numpy processing, which can then be fed into SageTeX... more specifics of your current workflow would help SageTeX experts help you, of course.

From your spreadsheet software, you can export your spreadsheet as a CSV file, then in Sage you can do :

sage: import csv
sage: file = '/path/to/your/file.csv'
sage: reader = csv.reader(open(file))

sage: L = []
sage: for row in reader:
....:     L.append(row)

And the contents of your spreadsheet is stored in the list L. To get the entry located at the third row of the sixth column, just type:

sage: L[2][5]
