Error trace :'python openpyxl row or column value must be at at least 1'

I'm attempting to use Python to extract data and write it to an Excel spreadsheet.

it gives me an error that row and column values must be at least 1. Though they are not by initialize value equal to 0, I add them by 1 and the error persists.

code is below;

CodePudding user response：

I guess you've got this error here:

...
for d in range(len(myList)):
    ...
    for i in range(7):
        a=i 1
        ...
        ws.cell(row=d, column=a, value=...)

When d equals zero I expect to see an error at ws.cell(row=d, ...) because rows and columns in Excel are numbered starting from 1. Sort of ws.cell(row=d 1, ...) should help.
