I know how to write the macro using VB, but I don't know how to do the same thing using python -- where is the option available etc. Can you give me any reference? Thanks and Regards.

Actually, I have an excel sheet, where I am entering the data.

I am reading the entered data in python.

excel takes data as a string.

before passing it to python, i wanted to check whether the entered data(value) is a valid python data type.

so instead of checking this in python script(/ say program), I wanted to put macro in excel , so that all the values are checked at a stretch (or say while entering - before passing it to the python program.)

So is it possible ?

Yes of course this is possible. Like you said, create a MACRO in excel. This has nothing to do with python, it's an excel macro you want.

In the python script you could easily check the data/values and convert them/(make sure they are valid) to whatever 'type' you need them to be, within reason. (You can not create a flying spaghetti monster from a datetime for example)
