[TriZPUG] xlwt and Data / Subtotals?

[Paul Godley]

Greetings All,

I use xlwt to create some Excel worksheets from data in Postgres. I've
not had a need to use formula before, but now I'm interested in
implementing the behavior you get in Excel when you use the Data /
Subtotals... menu. My Google efforts haven't turned up anything
useful. A grep of the xlwt "examples" folder for "subtotal" returns no
hits. Does anyone know if xlwt supports this kind of thing? I've seen
subtotals mentioned in ExcelMagic.py, but I don't understand it yet.

If you know it can or cannot be done, that'll put me on the right path.

Thanks!
