I have an Excel file containing a varying number of columns, I would like to loop through certain columns (from their header row value) of that file using Python, then write (copy) those columns to another Excel file.
Any examples on how I can do this please?

Extracting data from a closed file in another workbook is a common request by most of the excel user. They would like to pull or consolidate data from closed files; however, this is not possible.
Python | How to copy data from one Excel sheet to another 1) Import openpyxl library as xl. 2) Open the source excel file using the path in which it is located. 3) Open the required worksheet to copy using the index of it.
Type = (equal sign). Switch to the source workbook, and then click the worksheet that contains the cells that you want to link. Press F3, select the name that you want to link to and press Enter.
Here are some options to choose from:
If you need to copy only data (without formatting information), you can just use any combination of these tools for reading/writing. If you have an xls file, you should go with xlrd+xlwt option.
Here's a simple example of copying the first row from the existing excel file to the new one:
import xlwt import xlrd workbook = xlrd.open_workbook('input.xls') sheet = workbook.sheet_by_index(0) data = [sheet.cell_value(0, col) for col in range(sheet.ncols)] workbook = xlwt.Workbook() sheet = workbook.add_sheet('test') for index, value in enumerate(data): sheet.write(0, index, value) workbook.save('output.xls') If you love us?
