In my Excel spreadsheet I need to enter excel formula on a bottom that will summarize values. Number of rows can be different. But not columns.

So in cell B10 should be =SUM(B2:B7)

in cell C10 should be =SUM(C2:C7)

in cell D10 should be =SUM(D2:D7)

and so on...

import openpyxl

wb = openpyxl.load_workbook("C:\\Users\\my\\Test.xlsx")
   
# open sheet to write into. 
ws =  wb.active

#Get the number of rows to make it easier to add our Excel formulas a little later
last_row = ws.max_row   


for col in ws.iter_cols(min_row=last_row 2, min_col=14, max_row=last_row 2, max_col=28):
    for cell in col:
        cell.value = '=SUM(A2:B2)' # hou to make formula dynamic?

The code looks good. I assume that the only problem is the formula itself: how to make '=SUM(A2:A10)' and then '=SUM(B2:B10)' automatically. What you are looking for are the functions ord() and chr():

last_row = 42
for i in range(26):
   current_col_num = ord('A')   i
   current_col = chr(current_col_num)
   print(f'=SUM({current_col}2:{current_col}{last_row})')

You may want to wrap after 26 characters to get this 'Z', 'AA' behavior in the names if you have large numbers. See this answer how you can iterate over a list of wrapping characters.

You can do this where

1. first_row is the start of the summing rows
2. sum_row is the row where the totals will be placed. Here its 3 rows down from last_row
3. start_col is the first column to add the SUM formula i.e. col B
4. end_col is the last column to add the SUM formula i.e. col M

...

first_row = 2
last_row = ws.max_row
sum_row = last_row   3
start_col = 2
end_col = 13
for row in ws.iter_rows(min_row=sum_row, max_row=sum_row, min_col=start_col, max_col=end_col):
    for cell in row:
        cell_sum_start = cell.column_letter   str(first_row)
        cell_sum_end = cell.column_letter   str(last_row)
        cell.value = '=SUM({0}:{1})'.format(cell_sum_start, cell_sum_end)
