Answer 1

I tried with below command, but nothing got updated in excel. File being open as read only? what might be issue with code.

import win32com.client as win32
from win32com.client import Dispatch
import os
xlApp = Dispatch('Excel.Application')
workbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(r'C:\Users\eshsubh\Documents\EKN\DL MS1.xls')
xlApp.Sheets("Sheet2").Select()
xlSheet1 = xlApp.Sheets(1)
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = False
i = 0
for chart in xlSheet1.ChartObjects():
 print (chart.Name)
 chart.CopyPicture()
 #Create new temporary sheet
xlSheet1.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After=xlSheet1.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(3)).Name="temp_sheet" + str(i)
xlSheet1 = sheet_ranges.ActiveSheet
#Add chart object to new sheet.
cht = xlSheet1.ActiveSheet.ChartObjects().Add(0,0,800, 600)
#Paste copied chart into new object
cht.Chart.Paste()
#Export image
cht.Chart.Export("chart" + str(i) + ".png")
#This line is not entirely neccessary since script currently exits without saving
temp_sheet.Delete()
i = i+1
