How can I append a row at the top of an excel sheet? Goal as follows:
The file itself is written by using pandas.df.to_excel as follows:
import pandas
with pandas.ExcelWriter(output_filename) as writer:
for file in files:
df = pandas.read_csv(file)
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name=file.replace(".csv", "").replace("_", " ").title(), index=False)
Here is one way to do it using XlsxWriter as the Excel engine:
with pandas.ExcelWriter(output_filename, engine='xlsxwriter') as writer:
for file in files:
df = pandas.read_csv(file)
sheet_name = file.replace(".csv", "").replace("_", " ").title()
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name=sheet_name, index=False, startrow=1)
worksheet = writer.sheets[sheet_name]
worksheet.write('A1', 'Here is some additional text')
You can use openpyxl to edit your Excel file afterwards:
import contextlib
import openpyxl
import pandas as pd
new_row = "THIS ROW IS APPENDED AFTER THE FILE IS WRITTEN BY PANDAS"
with contextlib.closing(openpyxl.open(output_filename)) as wb:
for file in files:
sheet_name = file.replace(".csv", "").replace("_", " ").title()
sheet = wb[sheet_name]
sheet.insert_rows(0)
sheet["A1"] = new_row
wb.save(output_filename)
