Here are some common ways to use the openpyxl library in Python for working with Excel files.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Import the openpyxl library.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    import<\/span> openpyxl\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Open the Excel file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      workbook = openpyxl.load_workbook('filename.xlsx'<\/span>)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Select the worksheet:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        sheet = workbook.active  # \u9009\u62e9\u6d3b\u52a8\u5de5\u4f5c\u8868<\/span>\r\nsheet = workbook['Sheet1'<\/span>]  # \u9009\u62e9\u6307\u5b9a\u540d\u79f0\u7684\u5de5\u4f5c\u8868<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Get the value of the cell:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          value = sheet['A1'<\/span>].value  # \u8bfb\u53d6A1\u5355\u5143\u683c\u7684\u503c<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
            \n
          1. The value entered into the cell:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            sheet['A1'<\/span>] = 'Hello, World!'<\/span>  # \u5c06\u5b57\u7b26\u4e32\u5199\u5165A1\u5355\u5143\u683c<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
              \n
            1. Save the Excel file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
              workbook.save('filename.xlsx'<\/span>)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
              These are just the basic usages of the openpyxl library, there are many other features such as reading entire worksheets, reading and writing multiple cells, creating new worksheets, etc. You can refer to the official documentation of openpyxl at https:\/\/openpyxl.readthedocs.io\/ for more detailed usages and examples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
