How to filter column data using openpyxl

Question

I am trying to apply a filter to an existing Excel file, and export it to another Excel file. I would like to extract rows that only contain the value 16, then export the table to another excel file (as shown in the picture below).

I have tried reading the openpyxl documentation multiple times and googling for solutions but I still can't make my code work. I have also attached the code and files below

import openpyxl
# Is use to create a reference of the Excel to wb
 wb1 = openpyxl.load_workbook('test_data.xlsx')
 wb2 = openpyxl.load_workbook('test_data_2.xlsx')

# Refrence the workbook to the worksheets
 sh1 = wb1["data_set_1"]
 sh2 = wb2["Sheet1"]

 sh1.auto_filter.ref = "A:A"
 sh1.auto_filter.add_filter_column(0, ["16"])
 sh1.auto_filter.add_sort_condition("B2:D6")

 sh1_row_number = sh1.max_row
 sh1_col_number = sh1.max_column

 rangeSelected = []
 for i in range(1, sh1_row_number+1, 1):
     rowSelected = []
     for j in range(1, sh1_col_number+1, 1):
         rowSelected.append(sh1.cell(row = i, column = j))
     rangeSelected.append(rowSelected)

  del rowSelected

 for i in range(1, sh1_row_number+1, 1):
    for j in range(1, sh1_col_number+1, 1):
        sh2.cell(row = i, column = j).value = rangeSelected[i-1][j-1].value

 wb1.save("test_data.xlsx")
 wb2.save("test_data_2.xlsx")

The pictures shows what should be the desire result

The auto filter doesn't actually filter the data, it is just for visualization. You probably want to filter while looping through the workbook. Please note with this code I assume you have the table headers already in the second workbook. It does not overwrite the data, it appends to the table.

import openpyxl
# Is use to create a reference of the Excel to wb
wb1 = openpyxl.load_workbook('test_data.xlsx')
wb2 = openpyxl.load_workbook('test_data_2.xlsx')

# Refrence the workbook to the worksheets
sh1 = wb1["data_set_1"]
sh2 = wb2["data_set_1"]   # use same sheet name, different workbook

for row in sh1.iter_rows():
    if row[0].value == 16:   # filter on first column with value 16
        sh2.append((cell.value for cell in row))     

wb1.save("test_data.xlsx")
wb2.save("test_data_2.xlsx")
