How to save an excel file in a particular folder using openpyxl in python

Question

code

This is the code I am entering

from openpyxl import Workbook
from datetime import datetime

timestr=datetime.now().strftime("%d%m%Y-%H%M%S")

workbook = Workbook()
sheet = workbook.active
sheet["A1"]="Email"
sheet["B1"]="Password"
sheet["C1"]="Phoneno"
workbook.save("C:\Users\HARSHIL\Desktop\Proxlight-Designer-main\Backend Logs\"backend_"+timestr+"data.xlsx"")

I am able to save the file randomly in the folder where I saved my python file but i am unable to do so when i want to save it to any other folder.

error

Answer 1

This error is because you're using backslash, instead slash to the path. Try something like this:

...
workbook.save("C:/Users/HARSHIL/Desktop/Proxlight-Designer-main/Backend Logs/" + timestr + "_data.xlsx")
