export data to word document

Question

I am using databricks for analysis of some clinical data - but in the end in order to include it into my Phd I need to put this data into editable document like google docs, microsoft word... and include there formatted tables (from data frames) text description (so I think about manually created template with placeholders for calculated values which would be automatically filled on the basis of some value from a given dataframe) and some visualizations for example from native databricks, power bi, or R ggplot2 ... .

I suppose problem is quite common, but I was not able to find any good solution

Hello JakubMitura-4240,
Thanks for the ask and using the Microsoft Q&A platform .
This is a great question and let me be honest here . I have not implemented anything like this , but when i think I believe we need to use the API for Google docs or Word to achieve what you are trying to use . There is no out of the box solution when I found ( inline with what you mentioned ) .

I could like to point you to python-docx here . I did tried a basic python to create a *.docx and it worked . Since Adb does support Python , I think you should explore more on this .

from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Inches

def WriteADoc():

    print(f'Hi, {name}')  # Press Ctrl+F8 to toggle the breakpoint.
    document = Document()

    document.add_heading('Document Title', 0)
    document.save('demo.docx')


if __name__ == '__main__':
   WriteADoc()

Please do let me know how it goes .
Thanks
Himanshu
