I want to save data under the previous data every time whenever I run the program. sorry for the whole code because I don't which part of the code I should share with you. help, please!

//Python Code

from time import time
from turtle import heading, title
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from openpyxl import Workbook, load_workbook
from openpyxl.styles import Font
from openpyxl.utils import get_column_letter

# links in array of cardano only

CodePudding user response：

You are creating a new workbook every time you run your script, so of course you won't retain data when running the script again. You can use a try ... except block to try and open the file, or create if it doesn't exist.

filename = "Alert_Checking.xlsx"
try:
    # File already exists, load file
    load_workbook(filename)
    ws = wb["Links Alerts"]
except FileNotFoundError:
    # File does not exist, create file
    wb = Workbook()
    ws = wb.active
    ws.title = "Links Alerts"

    # Data Headings
    headings = ['Branch Name', 'Branch Link', 'Threshold', 'Percentage', 'Status']
    ws.append(headings)
    #  making bold headings
    for col in range(1, 6):
        ws[get_column_letter(col)   '1'].font = Font(bold=True)
