Best way to open existing excel file, clear an existing sheet and write dataframe to that sheet

Question

Longwinded question, I know.

But all solutions I have tried either delete all the sheets and replace them with one sheet containing my dataframe or breaks the excel file and requires excel to repair it.

Would be interested to know what the 'best' way to achieve this will be.

Answer 1

Here is how i write data frame to excel file, after quick search I found here how u can delete certain sheet - https://www.pythonexcel.com/delete-sheet.php

import pandas as pd from openpyxl import load_workbook

writer = pd.ExcelWriter(b, engine='xlsxwriter')
 df = pd.DataFrame({"q3": [""],
                    "q2": [""],
                     "q1": [""]})
        writer = pd.ExcelWriter(b, engine='xlsxwriter')
        df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name='Sheet1', index=False)
        
        writer.save()
