Is there a way to protect workbooks using openpyxl or xlswriter?

I'm trying to automate Excel reports, and I'd prefer users didn't try to rename or reorder the worksheets. While I've had no problems protecting individual cells using xlsxwriter, I've failed to see an option to protect the workbook itself. I'm looking to openpyxl, but the tutorial does not seem to have any effect.
Edit: I'm now using this block of code, but does neither produce an error or protect my workbooks.
from openpyxl import load_workbook
from openpyxl.workbook.protection import WorkbookProtection
workbook = load_workbook(filepath, read_only=False, keep_vba=True)
workbook.security = WorkbookProtection(workbookPassword = 'secret-password', lockStructure = True)
workbook.save(filepath)
By the way, I am dealing with .xlsm files. If there are any solutions or points that I've missed, please let me know.

From this code:
from openpyxl.workbook.protection import WorkbookProtection
myWorkbook.security = WorkbookProtection(workBookPassword = 'super-secret-password', lockStructure = True)
myWorkbook.save(filepath)
Change:
WorkbookProtection(workBookPassword = 'super-secret-password', lockStructure = True)
to:
WorkbookProtection(workbookPassword = 'super-secret-password', lockStructure = True)
workBookPassword should be workbookPassword
Tested on Python32 3.8 and OpenPyXL version 3.0.2

Xlsxwriter has the option to protect the workbook with the command worksheet.protect() (have a look at the documentation: https://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.io/worksheet.html )
However take into consideration this:
Worksheet level passwords in Excel offer very weak protection. They do
not encrypt your data and are very easy to deactivate. Full workbook
encryption is not supported by XlsxWriter since it requires a
completely different file format and would take several man months to
implement.

Try using xlwings
import xlwings as xw
wb = xw.Book(r'<path_to_.xlsx file>')
wb.save(password='<your_password>', path=r'<path_to_save_.xlsx file>')

python openpyxl insert_cols changes merge-cells and styles

I tried to insert a column into an excel.
However, the style of cells has been changed
CODE:
import openpyxl
wb = openpyxl.load_workbook('xt3.xlsx')
sheet = wb.worksheets[0]
sheet.insert_cols(0)
[enter image description here][1]wb.save("filename.xlsx")

After some digging I wrote this code in openpyxl and xlrd/xlwt/xlutils.
Support both xls and xlsx.
Before
After
The key is to use copy and generate coordinate.
Code is here

This code will insert 3 columns; It keeps the background color but not all of the borders.
merged_cells_range = ws.merged_cells.ranges
for merged_cell in merged_cells_range:
merged_cell.shift(3,0)
ws.insert_cols(1,3)

Write data into existing excel file and making summary table

I have to write some data into existing xls file.(i should say that im working on unix and couldnt use windows)
I prefer work with python and have tried some libraries like xlwt, openpyxl, xlutils.
Its not working, cause there is some filter in my xls file. After rewriting this file filter is dissapearing. But i still need this filter.
Could some one tell me about options that i have.
help, please!
Example:
from xlutils.copy import copy
from xlrd import open_workbook
from xlwt import easyxf
start_row=0
rb=open_workbook('file.xls')
r_sheet=rb.sheet_by_index(1)
wb=copy(rb)
w_sheet=wb.get_sheet(1)
for row_index in range(start_row, r_sheet.nrows):
row=r_sheet.row_values(row_index)
call_index=0
for c_el in row:
value=r_sheet.cell(row_index, call_index).value
w_sheet.write(row_index, call_index, value)
call_index+=1
wb.save('file.out.xls');
I also tried:
import xlrd
from openpyxl import Workbook
import unicodedata
rb=xlrd.open_workbook('file.xls')
sheet=rb.sheet_by_index(0)
wb=Workbook()
ws1=wb.create_sheet("Results", 0)
for rownum in range(sheet.nrows):
row=sheet.row_values(rownum)
arr=[]
for c_el in row:
arr.append(c_el)
ws1.append(arr)
ws2=wb.create_sheet("Common", 1)
sheet=rb.sheet_by_index(1)
for rownum in range(sheet.nrows):
row=sheet.row_values(rownum)
arr=[]
for c_el in row:
arr.append(c_el)
ws2.append(arr)
ws2.auto_filter.ref=["A1:A15", "B1:B15"]
#ws['A1']=42
#ws.append([1,2,3])
wb.save('sample.xls')
The problem is still exist. Ok, ill try to find machine running on windows, but i have to admit something else:
There is some rows like this:
enter image description here
Ive understood what i was doing wrong, but i still need help.
First of all, i have one sheet that contains some values
Second sheet contains summary table!!!
If i try to copy this worksheet it did wrong.
So, the question is : how could i make summary table from first sheet?

Suppose your existing excel file has two columns (date and number).
This is how you will append additional rows using openpyxl.
import openpyxl
import datetime
wb = openpyxl.load_workbook('existing_data_file.xlsx')
sheet = wb.get_sheet_by_name('Sheet1')
a = sheet.get_highest_row()
sheet.cell(row=a,column=0).value=datetime.date.today()
sheet.cell(row=a,column=1).value=30378
wb.save('existing_data_file.xlsx')

If you are on Windows, I would suggest you take a look at using the win32com.client approach. This allows you to interact with your spreadsheet using Excel itself. This will ensure that any existing filters, images, tables, macros etc should be preserved.
The following example opens an XLS file adds one entry and saves the whole workbook as a different XLS formatted file:
import win32com.client as win32
import os
excel = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application')
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(r'input.xls')
ws = wb.Worksheets(1)
# Write a value at A1
ws.Range("A1").Value = "Hello World"
excel.DisplayAlerts = False # Allow file overwrite
wb.SaveAs(r'sample.xls', FileFormat=56)
excel.Application.Quit()
Note, make sure you add full paths to your input and output files.

Inserting object in excel using Python

I want to insert a Image(object) in MS-Excel Report which i am generating using openpyxl utility. Is there a way to do it using some python utility?

Openpyxl allows you to write images into your Excel files! Here it is in the official documentation.
import openpyxl
wb = openpyxl.Workbook()
ws = wb.worksheets[0]
picture = openpyxl.drawing.Image('/path/to/picture')
picture.anchor(ws.cell('cell to put the image'))
ws.add_image(picture)
wb.save('whatever you want to save the workbook as')
This code of course refers to creating a new workbook and adding the image into it. To add the image to your preexisting workbook you would obviously just load that workbook using load_workbook.

Insert Image on Worksheet's Header/Footer using OpenPyXL

I'm creating a small app in Django that produces a Excel report using openpyxl library. Got stuck while trying to insert an image in the header / footer section. The documentation here roughly talks about inserting text (& ampersand codes). Checked the source code, but no help there either.
I see XlsxWriter has this option. Would appreciate if someone could shed me light on how to pass image's name/path in openxlpy or do I need to switch the library?
View.py
def get(self, request):
wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.active
# header & footer
ws.header_footer.center_header.text = '&G'

This is currently not possible in openpyxl, and unlikely ever to be so unless someone else contributes the code. Therefore, you may have to switch to using xlsxwriter.
NB. adding it would also involve preserving images from existing files, which is one of the things that makes this so challenging. We open to add general support for reading images in openpyxl 2.5

In openpyxl you can add an image (inserted into some_cell) to a worksheet by doing the following:
wb = openpyxl.Workbook()
ws = wb.add_worksheet() #or wb.active
your_image = openpyxl.drawing.Image(path_to_image)
your_image.anchor(ws.cell(some_cell))
ws.add_image(your_image)
wb.save(your_filename.xlsx)
