I want to be able to locate a value in excel from python and print the value in the next column

Question

I am trying to be able to let a user give me a value in python and then the code finds the value in an excel document and prints the value from the next column.

I can't seem to find any code for it and i am struggling to write it myself, here is my code so far:

 dotill = input("would you like to enter till mode?")
 if dotill == "yes":
     barcode = input("please start scanning")
     find (bardcode) in:
         excel_document = openpyxl.load_workbook('scanza.xlsx',data_only=True)
          heet = excel_document['completetransaction'] 

Can anyone help?

You might want to have a look into the pandas package. It provides an interface with excel.

A part of your question could than be solved using a pandas DataFrame from your excel file that with the path PATH/TO/WORKSHEET beeing searched for the value TESTVALUE which are to replaced in the example below:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_excel(PATH/TO/WORKSHEET)

if TESTVALUE in df.values:
    print('Value in sheet!')
else:
    print('Value not in sheet!')

pd.read_excel(path) generates a DataFrame from an excel file. df.values gets you an array of the values. The if statement checks for your value within the array.
