[python] Dataframe to Excel sheet

I have an Excel file (.xls format) with 5 sheets, I want to replace the contents of sheet 5 with contents of my pandas data frame.

This question is related to python pandas

The answer is


I tested the previous answers found here: Assuming that we want the other four sheets to remain, the previous answers here did not work, because the other four sheets were deleted. In case we want them to remain use xlwings:

import xlwings as xw
import pandas as pd

filename = "test.xlsx"

df = pd.DataFrame([
    ("a", 1, 8, 3),
    ("b", 1, 2, 5),
    ("c", 3, 4, 6),
    ], columns=['one', 'two', 'three', "four"])

app = xw.App(visible=False)
wb = xw.Book(filename)
ws = wb.sheets["Sheet5"]

ws.clear()
ws["A1"].options(pd.DataFrame, header=1, index=False, expand='table').value = df

# If formatting of column names and index is needed as xlsxwriter does it, 
# the following lines will do it (if the dataframe is not multiindex).
ws["A1"].expand("right").api.Font.Bold = True
ws["A1"].expand("down").api.Font.Bold = True
ws["A1"].expand("right").api.Borders.Weight = 2
ws["A1"].expand("down").api.Borders.Weight = 2

wb.save(filename)
app.quit()

Or you can do like this:

your_df.to_excel( r'C:\Users\full_path\excel_name.xlsx',
                  sheet_name= 'your_sheet_name'
                )
