保存时使用openpyxl从一个工作簿复制到另一个工作簿会导致错误

Question

I am trying to append the values from one sheet row by row to a new workbook. My code works when I run it on a small test file, but when I run it on my target file it returns an error when saving.

Here is my code:

from openpyxl import load_workbook
from openpyxl import Workbook

wb = load_workbook(filename='RM Activity-Pricing Report - 2014-05-31.xlsm',keep_vba=False, data_only=True)
ws_Ottawa = wb.get_sheet_by_name('Ottawa')

wb2 = Workbook()
ws2 = wb2.create_sheet()

for row in ws_Ottawa.iter_rows():
        ws2.append(row)

wb2.save('new_big_file.xlsx')

The output error I get in Spyder (python 3.5) is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

IndexError: list index out of range

I do not get an error when I use my code on a smaller test .xlsx file.

Possible reasons for the problem that I suspect are:

1)input file is .xlsm

2)input file is has columns from A to CI

3)input file is password protected (but since the error is in saving this does not seem like it should be an issue)

Taking into account what Charlie said, this is my work-around from openpyxl import load_workbook from openpyxl import Workbook

 wb = load_workbook(filename='RM Activity-Pricing Report - 2014-5-31.xlsm',keep_vba=False, data_only=True)#,guess_types=True)


ws_Ottawa = wb.get_sheet_by_name('Ottawa')

wb2 = Workbook()
ws2 = wb2.create_sheet()
counter = 0
new_rows = []
for rrow in ws_Ottawa.iter_rows():
    new_rows.append([])
    for cell in rrow:
        new_rows[counter].append(cell.value)
    counter +=1
for wrow in new_rows:

    ws2.append(wrow)

wb2.save('new_big_file4.xlsx')


print("ALL DONE")

Answer 1

You quite simply cannot do what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, the way data is stored within the file formats means that much relevant information is not stored with the cell but using reference to the workbook object. These obviously differ from workbook to workbook which is why you see errors when saving: the number format you want to use doesn't exist in the new file.
