Images dissapear in excel documents when copying them with python

Question

import openpyxl

def factuur():
    wb = openpyxl.load_workbook(\'factuurvoorbeeld1.xlsx\')
    Blad1 = wb.active
    Blad1[\'K7\'] = \'logo.png\'
    Blad1[\'E22\']         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately openpyxl does not support images at this time, see official documentation: https://openpyxl.readthedocs.io/en/default/usage.html

openpyxl does currently not read all possible items in an Excel file so images and charts will be lost from existing files if they are opened and saved with the same name.

So when you open the template file, the images are not read, thus not saved in the new file.

It might work if you insert the image again with openpyxl, by following the doc here: https://openpyxl.readthedocs.io/en/default/usage.html#inserting-an-image

Answer 2

I face same issue with openpyxl 2.6.2

Logo images was added in template excel file but disappear in exported .xlsx file

I just install Pillow and now its exporting all images fine.

pip install Pillow

This is my sample code to create salary slip from template excel file:

from openpyxl import load_workbook


def create_salary_slip():
    wb = load_workbook(filename = 'salary.xlsx')
    # grab the active worksheet
    ws = wb.active
    # Add Income
    ws['D11'] = 25000
    # Add deduction
    ws['M11'] = 1500
    # Save the file
    wb.save("sample.xlsx")

create_salary_slip()

Answer 3

I had the same issue and tried a lot of libs. For me editpyxl does exactly what I need in that scenario:

import editpyxl

wb = editpyxl.Workbook()  
source_filename = r'Template.xlsx'
destination_filename = 'Output.xlsx'

wb.open(source_filename)
ws = wb.active
ws.cell('A1').value = 3.14
wb.save(destination_filename)
wb.close()
