Edit: I found out a solution to my question. More or less look at the user manual for openPyxl instead of online tutorials, the tutorials ran errors when I tried them (I tried more than one) and their thought process was significantly different from the thought process in the user manual. And also I ended up not using pandas as much as I thought I would need to.
I am trying to append certain values in an Excel file with multiple sheets based on user inputs and then rewrite it to the Excel file (without deleting the rest of the sheets). So far I have tried this which seems to combine the data but I didn't quite see how it applied to what I am doing since I want to append a part of a sheet instead of rewrite the whole excel file. I have also tried a few other things with ExcelWriter but I don't quite understand it since it usually wipes all the data in the file (I may be using it wrong).
episode_dataframe = pd.read_excel (r'All_excerpts (Siena Copy)_test.xlsx', sheet_name=episode)
#episode is a specified string inputted by user, this line makes a data frame for the specified sheet
episode_dataframe.loc[(int(pass_num) - 1), 'Resources'] = resources
#resources is also a user inputted string, it's what I am trying to append the spreadsheet cell value to, this appends to corresponding data frame
path_R = open("All_excerpts (Siena Copy)_test.xlsx", "rb")
with pd.ExcelWriter(path_R) as writer:
writer.book = openpyxl.load_workbook(path_R)
#I copied this from [here][3], i think it should make the writer for the to_excel? I don't fully know
episode_dataframe.to_excel(writer, sheet_name=episode, engine=openpyxl, if_sheet_exsits ='replace')
#this should write the sheet data frame onto the file, but I don't want it to delete the other sheets
Additionally, I have been running into a bunch of other smaller errors, a big one was Workbook' object has no attribute 'add worksheet' even though I'm not trying to add a worksheet, also I could not get their solution to work.
I am a bit of a novice at python, so my code might be a bit of a mess.
