Need help - How to identify the cell display format?

[Ezhilarasan Chandrasekar]

I tried the following,

from openpyxl.reader.excel import load_workbook

book = load_workbook(filename='transactions.xlsx')
sheet = book.get_sheet_by_name('transactions')
print sheet.cell("A12").style.number_format
print sheet.cell("A13").style.number_format

But there is some problem with the load_workbook package. I get a error in
reading .xls file.

Could anyone please help me out from this?

Its really Urgent for me, Is there any other alternative way to read excel
cell display format?
