Description
A few observations and remarks:
- The
number_formatparameter is implemented in theWrite to cellkeyword, but data types are similarly important in situations whereRead from cellis used. What consequences does this have possibly?- If you read number or date-time values, there's a good chance types will be inferred by OpenPyXL, leading to integers, floats, DateTime objects, andsoforth. If this is the case, the
trimfunctionality will cause problems in those cases. Look into it!

- Should
number_formatbe implemented as a parameter for theRead from cellkeyword as well? - Should we simplify things and convert everything to strings? I think not, but it's worth discussing. We could also consider adding a parameter
as_string=Trueto both write and read keywords, which could optionally simplify things (especially in regards to the trimming caveats mentioned before).
If someone has an opinion about this: let's get this discussion going. In the meantime I won't be spending too much time documenting or even understanding the exact consequences of number_format.
