If I am using pandas .to_excel, how do I assign a worksheet to a variable?

Question

I have written an Excel sheet like so

writer = pd.ExcelWriter('test.xlsx', engine='xlsxwriter')
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name='sheet_name', header=True, index=True)

Now I want to add a text box to the worksheet. How do I assign the sheet to a variable to add a text box?

Answer 1

You can do it like this:

import pandas as pd


df = pd.DataFrame({'Data': [10, 20, 30, 20, 15, 30, 45]})

writer = pd.ExcelWriter('pandas_textbox.xlsx', engine='xlsxwriter')

df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name='Sheet1')

workbook  = writer.book
worksheet = writer.sheets['Sheet1']

worksheet.insert_textbox(2, 3, "Hello world")

writer.save()

Output :
