    #엑셀 로그인
    
    
    load_owner_order_wb = load_workbook("order.xlsx", data_only=True)
    load_owner_order_ws = load_owner_order_wb['Sheet1']
    
    owner_source = load_owner_source_ws['A1'].value
    
    
    # html = urlopen(owner_source).read()
    html = urlopen('https://ownerclan.com/V2/product/view.php?selfcode=W13B289').read()
    
    soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
    
    i=1
    
    while len(load_owner_order_ws['A']) >= i:
        i = i + 1
    
    load_owner_order_ws['A%d'%i] = soup.title.string

    print(soup.select('#productPrice'))

ValueError: Cannot convert [<span id="productPrice">8,100</span>] to Excel

I have more experience with OpenPyXl than Beautiful Soup but the error seems to be telling you that soup.select('#productPrice') is returning [<span id="productPrice">8,100</span>] or basically a list of HTML elements (that happens to only have one value). If you want the innerHTML value of #productPrice then try soup.select('#productPrice')[0].text or soup.find('#productPrice').text .

I may be wrong about the .text part. Please refer to Beautiful Soup documentation to figure out how to extract the info you want from HTML!
