How about if you make this a separate function, and
return the list (actually, what you have here is a
tuple) that you want:
def excells(row, base, lastcol):
thelist = ((row, base, lastcol, "A13", "013"), ...
return thelist
The function might even take other parameters that tell whether
to return 4, 5, or 6 brands.
