Is it possible to assign the sheet_name ?
You can assign a name when creating the sheet. You pass a string as a parameter to add_worksheet().
my_worksheet = my_workbook.add_worksheet('My sheet name')
Thank you Kyle...yeah I figured it out 👍
@@KyleWilsonCode Can you help me? My python says, that my_workbook can't do the add_worksheet command.
@@borkabalas The first thing I'd check is that xlsxwriter is up to date. Then try creating your workbook and immediately closing it with close(). See if the file is created. If the file isn't created, then the problem is with the Workbook creation command, otherwise double and triple check the syntax for creating the worksheet.
If all of that fails, copy and paste the error message here and I'll see what I can do. Best of luck!
@@KyleWilsonCode Thank you! I already solved it. It did not work with import *...but why? Well, no who knows...
searched the whole youtube for such a simple tutorial. Thanks!
All comments here say what I wanted to say, but I need to write this anyway: you are a great teacher! Everything was extremely well explained and super easy to follow. I wish more python tutorials were like this. Thank you!
Very simple and concise! It's really nice when one pays so much effort to learn on his own (most of the times) something, and then they teach some total strangers, in couple of minutes, what they probably took a lot more. So a big "thanks" to you!
Good job man, people like you are what encourages beginners like myself to start coding confidently.
This was honestly a great video. I tried using things like stackoverflow but you need to be a much better coder than I am to understand the level of the answers most of the time. Videos like this cut through that.
Great video, I was doing this in a more barbaric way, but your way is more elegant with less lines of code. Thank you so much.
Several tutorials but this is the one that did the job for me. I don't understand why we didn't do any encoding. It saved foreign languages just fine. Hum, must be default now in python 3.
Thanks so much for this. I’ve been messing around with XML trying to read and write to XLS files and this has saved me days of work and a huge headache. Great video, simple and effective. I searched all over the web for this solution and here was the answer all along... thank you!!
Very clear video. Easily understood in 1 run. Great job Kyle.
best python teacher ever
Wonderful. Concise and very clear
Nice and clear, thank you for the tutorial!
I just revisualized the y and x thing as rows and columns instead so like down y on a normal line graph would be rows down and x right and left on normal line graph would be columns- awesome vid!! TY (That is pretty weird)
Thank you for showing the light
This is amazing. The way you simply taught was great and very knowledgeable. Thanks a billion!
Super easy to understand! thank you!
Thank you bro.. this super cool brilliant clear tutorial ever! about looping in Excel and Python i ever seen. Jesus bless you bro!

ياخي شكرا للي ترجم
الله يحفطه ويعطيه من رزقه
You are a lifesaver!!! Thank you so much!
Its too op was doing python and tried to do it myself it did not happen and after watching your video i did it thanks a lot
Very very useful, thank you for posting this!
Helped me so much. Thank You!!
Very helpful I dislike having to click through excel. Cool that I can make python do it
i found this video very helpful in learning
thanks you a lot very very useful and helpful to me
Thank you sir 🙏🙏
Very good video! Helped a lot. But I would like to know if there's possible to 'append' data to an excell sheet that allready exists! Waiting for an answer, thanks!
Thanks, man!!
Right on. Thanks!
What is the interface you're using to run the Python code? Where you can literally hit "run" at the top there? Exactly what I'm looking for. (Total Python noob here.)
Hey, the program is called IDLE and it comes with standard python installations, so you may already have it on your computer. When you open IDLE, hit File -> New, that way you can save the code you write instead of running one command at a time
How can I write to excel sheet with a data validation column in python?
I keep losing my original sheets while trying to add a new sheet that has data validation
How do we create a workbook in a specific address.
Can we use this module for xlm files?
this is good and fast thanks bro
beautiful, thank you!
Hi can we write more than one matrices to the same sheet one below the other?
5:48 didn't you said the opposite here, (1,0) (2,0) .... and so on are for rows and the opposite for columns :O
Hello, very useful, but is their a method not to overwrite the sheet everytime and save previous data ?
Yes I also wanted to know? Did you get the answer?
@@AjayJain-ef2mz Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to do this with xlsxwriter. However, if that is something you need to do, look at the module openpyxl. I don't know much about it, but I believe that module may get you the answer you need.
@@KyleWilsonCode thnx very much sir.
Thanks for the great video! I just have one question left: What do I have to do to create multiple excel sheets?
Just as at the beginning, newsheet = outWorkbook.add_worksheet
one question , I have to close my excel file everytime I run the code otherwise it generates error in the codes saying Permisson error
Yeah that unfortunately is unavoidable. Excel holds control over the files it has open, so it will prevent your code from interacting with those files.
Thano you
How to download the file?
amazing!
cool and amazing but how about appending data to a file (existing)
thank you sir.
xlsx doesn't use Y X....it just uses the number of rows and number of Columb...if u go to the right side the row increases by 1...the position is 10..same thing happens with the Columb
Thank you for this, I have to create an excel file with lots of data, I wanted to know how to give the sheet a name and just use the parameter name='sheetName' when using add_worksheet
but can't you use outSeet.write_formula(3, 1, "=SUM(B2:B4")?
Dumb question. Why not a loop for rows too?
Hi, I am getting a TypeError: ’module’ object is not callable. Please help as I am a newbie to python.
Very Good!
Good!
I need to know whether this can be automated or not: I get one raw data details on excel sheet on mail with attachment, this attached excel sheet gets automatically downloaded to certain location and then macro runs on that excel file as per schedule and then that excel sheet is send to several email addresses as per schedule without human intervention? What is required to do this automation?
Hey there! This is automate-able, but will require a lot of work. The main issues is interfacing with your mail client, which that will depend on who you use (Gmail, Outlook, etc). I'd recommend looking up guides for automating tasks with your specific mail client and go from there. If you have access to a linux machine, I'd advise using that, as when I've worked with emails, it made it a lot easier. Best of luck!
thanks a lot
Thanx bro 😍

Write Workbook insteed of workbook
Hello, I dont have "xlsxwriter" in my python3 I dont know what could be happened, do you have a tip for me please? thanks
Make sure you have pip installed it with the command "pip install xlsxwriter". If you've done that and are still getting issues, I'd check to make sure you installed it to the version of python you're using.
For example, if you have Python 3.5 and 3.7, pip installing it to 3.5 means Python 3.7 will NOT have access to the module. Hope this helps!
@@KyleWilsonCode Hi, thanks for your reply. In my case I have Python 3.8.5. I tried to install pip but w/o success. by the way my pc is macbook. Rgds
@@TheCarlosbros Can you tell we what error you're getting when you try to pip install it? Or what error you get when trying to 'import xlsxwriter'? I may be able to help more in that case.
Can this be done directly into a Google Sheets file? Thanks
Yes. Need to use google API
write to multiple sheet
Before 5:27 : taught you wouldn't know for loops
Me too LMAO
Hello!
Thank’s for a all this valuable content. I’m not a pro in Python but I try to learn it. I have a problem to get this script to work, or it halv-works but something is missing or incorrect.
I try to generate combinations and print those to an excel file. When I run the script only the Combinations are shown on screen, but no excel file is created for those combinations. What I’m doing wrong here? Strange thing is I got no error messsge either. Can you please give me any advice, I appreciate any suggestion or help. Thank you
Here’s the code:
import itertools
import os
import xlsxwriter
row = 0
col = 0
combin = itertools.combinations(range(1,15),7)
count_combin = []
count = 0
for i in combin:
count_combin.append(i)
print(count_combin.index(i)+1, i)
workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook( os.getcwd() + '\\' + 'combination.xlsx')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet('combs')
worksheet.write(row,col,i[0])
worksheet.write(row,col+1,i[1])
worksheet.write(row,col+2,i[2])
worksheet.write(row,col+3,i[3])
worksheet.write(row,col+4,i[4])
worksheet.write(row,col+5,i[5])
worksheet.write(row,col+6,i[6])
row += 1
workbook.close
print('number of combinations', len(count_combin))
This is okay, but I'm not seeing the advantage of using this method as opposed to just doing everything inside the xl worksheet.
I'm reading a Toyota remittance advice EDI file that has about 15,000 lines of code. My ERP company has no real way to parse it so I use Python to write it to a spreadsheet. It's cool for the big stuff with repeating patterns!
import xlsxwriter
outWorkbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('users.xlsx')
outSheet = outWorkbook.add_worksheet()
names = ['Kyle', 'Bob', 'Mary']
values = [72, 82, 71]
outSheet.write('A1', "Names")
outSheet.write('B1', "Scores")
outSheet.write('D1', "Total")
for i in range(len(names)):
outSheet.write(i+1, 0, names[i])
outSheet.write(i+1, 1, values[i])
outSheet.write_formula('D2', '=SUM(B2:B4)')
outWorkbook.close()
