You should check this

https://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/getting_started.html

in the documentation of the module you are trying to use it says it cannot read or edit existing files, it only creates new ones, but it cannot edit existing ones, so maybe the problem is in the module you are using. Try getting a module that allows you to edit excel files
