openpyxl get sheet by name
I am writing some data into an Excel file, but I dont know how to adjust the code in order to be able to control which sheet I am writing into:
wb = load_workbook(filename)
active_ws = wb.active
Instead of wb.active
, how can I say something like Sheets('Data')
(this is how the VBA syntax would look like...)?
Solution 1:
You should use wb[sheetname]
from openpyxl import load_workbook
wb2 = load_workbook('test.xlsx')
ws4 = wb2["New Title"]
PS:
You should check if your sheet in sheet names wb.sheetnames
print(wb2.sheetnames)
['Sheet2', 'New Title', 'Sheet1']
Solution 2:
import openpyxl
n = 0
wb = openpyxl.load_workbook('D:\excel.xlsx')
sheets = wb.sheetnames
ws = wb[sheets[n]]
