How do I iterate through cells in a specific column using openpyxl 1.6

Question

I am currently using Python 2.7 and so far have been able to make it this far. I need to print the value of cells in column D till the maximum row the excel sheet has.

wb = openpyxl.load_workbook(filename)
sheet = wb.get_sheet_by_name('Something')
for row in range(2, sheet.get_highest_row()):
   bla=str(row)
   status  = sheet['D' + bla].value()
   print status

Which gives a traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "ExcelAnalysis.py", line 25, in <module>
    status  = sheet['D' + bla].value()
 TypeError: 'Worksheet' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

Answer 1

I suspect you are using an outdated version of openpyxl , update it:

pip install --upgrade openpyxl

And, you should not be calling value , it is a property:

status = sheet['D' + bla].value

Answer 2

I think this is a very primitive and not very optimized way, but I got the answer nevertheless.

for cow in range(1, sheet.get_highest_row()):
   status  = sheet.cell(row=cow, column=3).value

Please, If anyone can, help me improve it. Thank you very much in advance.
