I would like to clear the content of the Excel file using Python and re-write it at the end with different values. I would like to do it while Excel remains open and don't want to close before re-writing it again.
import pandas as pd
Tab = pd.read_excel("abc.xls",sheet_name="Sheet1")
Col_A = Tab['Col A']
The Col_A in excel has the following values currently. I would like to clear those values except the heading 'Col A' and update them with new values.
Old Values |
---|
100 |
200 |
300 |
400 |
500 |
New Values |
---|
600 |
700 |
800 |
900 |
1000 |
I would like to keep excel open and save the file after updating new values in Col A.
This is an example using Xlwings;
The sheet contains the values 100 to 500 in cells A1 to A5 in 100 increments.
The workbook is opened in Excel with this pre-populated Sheet displayed.
Python then waits for a key stroke to continue.
When a key is pressed these cells are updated with the values 600 to 1000 down the column overwriting the existing values in real time. Then waits for key stroke again.
When a key is pressed the Excel file is saved and Excel exits.
import xlwings as xw
with xw.App(visible=True) as app:
wb = xw.Book('foo.xlsx')
ws = wb.sheets["Sheet1"]
input("Press any key to update values")
ws['A1'].value = [[600], [700], [800], [900], [1000]]
input("Press any key to Save file and exit")
wb.save('foo.xlsx')
