Hi Richard
The issue i am am having is that the Name is a variable stored as a str and my data in my dataframe is stored as a variable of type dataframe.
If i use place holders i.e. {0} and {1} where {0} is the name and {1} is the dataframe i get an error for the following line of code:-
.format((Name,Body).to_html()) which states 'tuple' object has no attribute 'to_html'.
My amended code look like:-
import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
mail=smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 123)
mail.ehlo()
mail.starttls()
mail.login("Email","Pwd")
From_Address = ["From_Email"]
To_Address = [Report_Data_Frame.iloc[0,10]]
CC_Address = ["CC_Email", "CC_Email", "CC_Email"]
Subject_Email = "Email_Subject"
Name = "Tom"
Body = Email_Body_Data_Frame
html = """\
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
Hi {0}
<br>
<br>
TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT
<br>
<br>
{1}
<br>
TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT <br><br>
</body>
<br>
</html>
""".format((Name,Body).to_html())
If i convert the dataframe to a string then it messes up all the columns.
Any ideas?
Thanks
