How to extract sheet from *.xlsm and save it as *.csv in Python?

Question

I have a *.xlsm file which has 20 sheets in it. I want to save few sheets as *.csv (formatting loss is fine) individually. Already tried xlrd-xlwt and win32com libraries b

Answer 1

You can do this easily with pandas

1. Install pandas and xlrd dependencies by following

   • pip3 install pandas
   • pip3 install xlrd (required by pandas)

2. Now simply read xlsm file using read_excel. Here is a demo:-

import pandas as pd

# YOU MUST PUT sheet_name=None TO READ ALL CSV FILES IN YOUR XLSM FILE
df = pd.read_excel('YourFile.xlsm', sheet_name=None)

# prints all sheets
print(df)

# prints all sheets name in an ordered dictionary
print(df.keys())

# prints first sheet name or any sheet if you know it's index
first_sheet_name = list(df.keys())[0]
print(first_sheet_name)

# prints first sheet or any sheet if know it's name
print(df[first_sheet_name])

# export first sheet to file
df[first_sheet_name].to_csv('FirstSheet.csv')

# export all sheets 
for sheet_name in list(df.keys()):
   df[sheet_name].to_csv(sheet_name + 'Sheet.csv')
