If you have issue with writing into an existing xls file because it is already created you need to put checking part like below   PATH  filename xlsx  if os path isfile PATH       print  File exists and will be overwrite NOW  else      print  The file is missing  new one is created        and here part with the data you want to add

Quote from xlsxwriter module documentation      This module cannot be used to modify or write to an existing Excel   XLSX file    If you want to modify existing xlsx workbook  consider using openpyxl module   See also    Modify an existing Excel file using Openpyxl in Python Use openpyxl to edit a Excel2007 file   xlsx  without changing its own styles

Note that openpyxl does not have a large toolbox for manipulating and editing images  Xlsxwriter has methods for images  but on the other hand cannot import existing worksheets     I have found that this works for rows     I m sure there s a way to do it for columns     import openpyxl  oxl   openpyxl load workbook  File Loction Here   xl   oxl   SheetName    x 0 col    A  row   x  while  row  lt   100       y   str row      cell   col   row     xl cell    x     row   row   1     x   x   1
