Copy pasting multiple sheets into new workbook

Question

The goal is to copy paste multiple existing sheets out of a workbook into a new workbook using xlwings. I have:

app = xw.App(visible=False)
book = xw.Book(path)
         


        

Answer 1

If you can use win32com, you can try this:

from win32com.client import Dispatch

path1 = 'workbook1.xlsx'
path2 = 'workbook2.xlsx'

xl = Dispatch("Excel.Application")

wb1 = xl.Workbooks.Open(Filename=path1)
wb2 = xl.Workbooks.Open(Filename=path2)

ws1 = wb1.Worksheets(1)
ws1.Copy(Before=wb2.Worksheets(1))

wb2.Close(SaveChanges=True)
xl.Quit()
