Insert copied Cells into Excel with Python Win32Com

Question

The following code will copy the intended range then insert in the intended spot shifting the cells right.

ws.Range("H3:M7).Copy()
ws.Range("H3").Insert()

However I want it to shift the cells down not right. But the following code gives me an Insert method of Range class failed error.

ws.Range("H3:M7).Copy()
ws.Range("H3").Insert(Shift="xlShiftDown")

any suggestions? ws is obtained from Workbooks.Sheets("My Sheet") within the win32com excel application.

Answer 1

Maybe use

ws.Range("H3").Insert(Shift=win32com.client.constants.xlShiftDown)

reference

Answer 2

ws.Range("H3:M7").Select()
excel.Selection.Copy(Destination=workbook.Worksheets("Sheet").Range("H3"))
