Copy worksheet from one workbook to another one using Openpyxl

问题

I have a large amount of EXCEL files (i.e. 200) I would like to copy one specific worksheet from one workbook to another one. I have done some investigations and I couldn't find a way of doing it with Openpyxl

This is the code I have developed so far

def copy_sheet_to_different_EXCEL(path_EXCEL_read,Sheet_name_to_copy,path_EXCEL_Save,Sheet_new_name):
''' Function used to copy one EXCEL sheet into another file.

    def path_EXCEL_read,Sheet_name_to_copy,path_EXCEL_Save,Sheet_new_name


Input data:
    1.) path_EXCEL_read: the location of the EXCEL file along with the name where the information is going to be saved
    2.) Sheet_name_to_copy= The name of the EXCEL sheet to copy
    3.) path_EXCEL_Save: The path of the EXCEL file where the sheet is going to be copied
    3.) Sheet_new_name: The name of the new EXCEL sheet

Output data:
    1.) Status= If 0, everything went OK. If 1, one error occurred.

Version History:
1.0 (2017-02-20): Initial version.

'''

status=0

if(path_EXCEL_read.endswith('.xls')==1): 
    print('ERROR - EXCEL xls file format is not supported by openpyxl. Please, convert the file to an XLSX format')
    status=1
    return status

try:
   wb = openpyxl.load_workbook(path_EXCEL_read,read_only=True)
except:
    print('ERROR - EXCEL file does not exist in the following location:\n  {0}'.format(path_EXCEL_read))
    status=1
    return status


Sheet_names=wb.get_sheet_names()    # We copare against the sheet name we would like to cpy

if ((Sheet_name_to_copy in Sheet_names)==0):
    print('ERROR - EXCEL sheet does not exist'.format(Sheet_name_to_copy))
    status=1
    return status   

# We checking if the destination file exists


if (os.path.exists(path_EXCEL_Save)==1):
    #If true, file exist so we open it

    if(path_EXCEL_Save.endswith('.xls')==1): 
        print('ERROR - Destination EXCEL xls file format is not supported by openpyxl. Please, convert the file to an XLSX format')
        status=1
    return status

    try:
        wdestiny = openpyxl.load_workbook(path_EXCEL_Save)
    except:
        print('ERROR - Destination EXCEL file does not exist in the following location:\n  {0}'.format(path_EXCEL_read))
        status=1
    return status

    #we check if the destination sheet exists. If so, we will delete it

    destination_list_sheets = wdestiny.get_sheet_names()

    if((Sheet_new_name in destination_list_sheets) ==True):
        print('WARNING - Sheet "{0}" exists in: {1}. It will be deleted!'.format(Sheet_new_name,path_EXCEL_Save))
        wdestiny.remove_sheet(Sheet_new_name) 

else:
    wdestiny=openpyxl.Workbook()
# We copy the Excel sheet

try:
    sheet_to_copy = wb.get_sheet_by_name(Sheet_name_to_copy) 
    target = wdestiny.copy_worksheet(sheet_to_copy)
    target.title=Sheet_new_name
except:
    print('ERROR - Could not copy the EXCEL sheet. Check the file')
    status=1
    return status

try:
    wdestiny.save(path_EXCEL_Save)
except:
    print('ERROR - Could not save the EXCEL sheet. Check the file permissions')
    status=1
    return status

#Program finishes
return status

Any suggestions?

Cheers

You cannot use copy_worksheet() to copy between workbooks because it depends on global constants that may vary between workbooks. The only safe and reliable way to proceed is to go row-by-row and cell-by-cell.

I had a similar requirement to collate data from multiple workbooks into one workbook. As there are no inbuilt methods available in openpyxl.

I created the below script to do the job for me.

Note: In my usecase all worbooks contain data in same format.

from openpyxl import load_workbook
import os


# The below method is used to read data from an active worksheet and store it in memory.
def reader(file):
    global path
    abs_file = os.path.join(path, file)
    wb_sheet = load_workbook(abs_file).active
    rows = []
    # min_row is set to 2, to ignore the first row which contains the headers
    for row in wb_sheet.iter_rows(min_row=2):
        row_data = []
        for cell in row:
            row_data.append(cell.value)
        # custom column data I am adding, not needed for typical use cases
        row_data.append(file[17:-6])
        # Creating a list of lists, where each list contain a typical row's data
        rows.append(row_data)
    return rows


if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Folder in which my source excel sheets are present
    path = r'C:\Users\tom\Desktop\Qt'
    # To get the list of excel files
    files = os.listdir(path)
    for file in files:
        rows = reader(file)
        # below mentioned file name should be already created
        book = load_workbook('new.xlsx')
        sheet = book.active
        for row in rows:
            sheet.append(row)
        book.save('new.xlsx')

回答3:

I've just found this question. A good workaround, as mentioned here, could consists in modifying the original wb in memory and then saving it with another name. For example:

import openpyxl

# your starting wb with 2 Sheets: Sheet1 and Sheet2
wb = openpyxl.load_workbook('old.xlsx')

sheets = wb.sheetnames # ['Sheet1', 'Sheet2']

for s in sheets:

    if s != 'Sheet2':
        sheet_name = wb.get_sheet_by_name(s)
        wb.remove_sheet(sheet_name)

# your final wb with just Sheet1
wb.save('new.xlsx')

回答4:

A workaround I use is saving the current sheet as a pandas data frame and loading it to the excel workbook you need

回答5:

My workaround goes like this:

You have a template file let's say it's "template.xlsx". You open it, make changes to it as needed, save it as a new file, close the file. Repeat as needed. Just make sure to keep a copy of the original template while testing/messing around.
