How to write/update data into cells of existing XL

问题:

I am able to write into new xlsx workbook using

import xlsxwriter  
def write_column(csvlist):
    workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook("filename.xlsx",{'strings_to_numbers': True})
    worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
    row = 0
    col = 0
    for i in csvlist:
        worksheet.write(col,row, i)
        col += 1

    workbook.close() 

but couldn't find the way to write in an existing workbook. Please help me to write/update cells in existing workbook using xlswriter or any alternative.

Quote from xlsxwriter module documentation:

This module cannot be used to modify or write to an existing Excel XLSX file.

If you want to modify existing xlsx workbook, consider using openpyxl module.

you can use this code to open (test.xlsx) file and modify A1 cell and then save it with a new name

import openpyxl
xfile = openpyxl.load_workbook('test.xlsx')

sheet = xfile.get_sheet_by_name('Sheet1')
sheet['A1'] = 'hello world'
xfile.save('text2.xlsx')

Note that openpyxl does not have a large toolbox for manipulating and editing images. Xlsxwriter has methods for images, but on the other hand cannot import existing worksheets...

I have found that this works for rows... I'm sure there's a way to do it for columns...

import openpyxl

oxl = openpyxl.load_workbook('File Loction Here')
xl = oxl.['SheetName']

x=0
col = "A"
row = x

while (row <= 100):
    y = str(row)
    cell = col + row
    xl[cell] = x
    row = row + 1
    x = x + 1

If you have issue with writing into an existing xls file because it is already created you need to put checking part like below:

PATH='filename.xlsx'
if os.path.isfile(PATH):
    print "File exists and will be overwrite NOW"
else:
    print "The file is missing, new one is created"

... and here part with the data you want to add
