Python: excel saved file with openpyxl show weird symbol when opened with a text editor

I've created with tkinter an app that help me analyze a .txt file and save information in a excel file. The app works (no problem in saving or opening the file and is readable). I save my variable in the file using openpyxl this code:
from openpyxl import load_workbook
[...]
def excel(self):
wb = load_workbook('F:\\Python\\template\\excel_template.xlsx')
sheet = wb.active
sheet.cell(row=1, column=1).value = "HADS"
sheet.cell(row=2, column=1).value = HADS1
sheet.cell(row=3, column=1).value = HADS2
sheet.cell(row=1, column=2).value = "date"
sheet.cell(row=2, column=2).value = date1
sheet.cell(row=3, column=2).value = date2
[...]
filename = "F:\\Python\\file\\" name + "_" + year + ".xlsx"
wb.save(filename)
When I tried to upload it in my Djano website I got various error. I thought the problem could it be the separetor and so I opened my excel file with a text editor and this is what I found inside:

Usually when I open an Excel file with my text editor I would find my variables normally written. I'm doing something wrong while saving my file? Is there another way? I really don't need the template and I would be fine saving the file in a .csv format if this could be help solve the problem.
Thank you all for the help!

how to open passward protected excel file and save in dataframe

i know this question has been asked many times , i have read through the answers of previously asked question however im still not getting how to open the file
what i want to do is i have some data in df that i want to save in the existing excel sheet df2 which is password procted
df2 = pd.read_excel(r'C:\Users\RTambe00000\Desktop\python basics\web scraping\IEDriverServer_Win32_4.0.0\Data Miner Data.xlsx', sheet_name='data (1)')
df2 = df2.merge(df, left_on='Created', right_on ='Preferred Call Time')
im getting this below error
XLRDError: Can't find workbook in OLE2 compound document

i have solved my issue and was able to open the password protected excel file. Below is my code:-
import win32com.client
xl = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application')
wb = xl.Workbooks.Open('File path', False, False, None, 'Read passward','Edit passward')
xl.Visible=1
time.sleep(5)
# to refresh the file
wb.RefreshAll()
time.sleep(5)
wb.Save()
xl.Quit()

How do I download an xlsm file and read every sheet in python?

Right now I am doing the following.
import xlrd
resp = requests.get(url, auth=auth).content
output = open(r'temp.xlsx', 'wb')
output.write(resp)
output.close()
xl = xlrd.open_workbook(r'temp.xlsx')
sh = 1
try:
for sheet in xl.sheets():
xls.append(sheet.name)
except:
xls = ['']
It's extracting the sheets but I don't know how to read the file or if saving the file as an .xlsx is actually working for macros. All I know is that the code is not working right now and I need to be able to catch the data that is being generated in a macro. Please help! Thanks.

I highly recommend using xlwings if you want to open, modify, and save .xlsm files without corrupting them. I have tried a ton of different methods (using other modules like openpyxl) and the macros always end up being corrupted.
import xlwings as xw
app = xw.App(visible=False) # IF YOU WANT EXCEL TO RUN IN BACKGROUND
xlwb = xw.Book('PATH\\TO\\FILE.xlsm')
xlws = {}
xlws['ws1'] = xlwb.sheets['Your Worksheet']
print(xlws['ws1'].range('B1').value) # get value
xlws['ws1'].range('B1').value = 'New Value' # change value
yourMacro = xlwb.macro('YourExcelMacro')
yourMacro()
xlwb.save()
xlwb.close()
Edit - I added an option to keep Excel invisible at users request

Excel file can not be opened anymore after writing with pd.ExcelWriter

I am writing a dataframe to a range of Excel file in a certain tab, but after saving the file, I see that the Excel file has become unusable. Could anyone suggest a solution?
import openpyxl as pyx
df3_xmax= df3.iloc[0]
wb = pyx.load_workbook(dst)
xl_writer = pd.ExcelWriter(dst, engine='openpyxl')
xl_writer.book = wb
xl_writer.sheets = {ws.title:ws for ws in wb.worksheets}
df3_xmax.to_excel(xl_writer, 'shname', index=False, header=False, startcol=3, startrow=7)
xl_writer.save()

Saving excel work book not working in python

for sheet_name in book.sheet_names():
for index in range(len(tabs)):
tab = tabs[index]
if sheet_name == tab:
dump_file_name = dump_files[index]
dump_file_name = file_prefix+dump_file_name
sheet = book.sheet_by_name(sheet_name)
new_book = Workbook()
sheet1 = new_book.add_sheet("Sheet 1")
for row in range(sheet.nrows):
values = []
for col in range(sheet.ncols):
sheet1.write(row,col,sheet.cell(row,col).value)
xlsx_file_name = dirname+"/"+dump_file_name+".xlsx"
sheet1.title = xlsx_file_name
new_book.save(xlsx_file_name)
The file is creating and data is there, but if I open it in openoffice.org and click the save button it asks for new name.
The file can not be read by PHP also. Again if I open and save it with new name then it works perfectly. I think we have to add something in the code so that it could be used by PHP.

i did google and found the solution here
http://xlsxwriter.readthedocs.org/getting_started.html
This is exactly what i wanted.
Creating and saving files to xlsx format.
Now its working perfectly.
