How to print the next row every time a function runs openpyxl

0 votes

In order to complete a form on a website, I am using openpxyl to extract values from a certain row and column in an excel document. I complete the form, save it, and then fill out the following form using the values from the following row of the excel sheet.

Excel looks like this:

First Name         Last Name         DOB

George             Hill              9/9/99
Sam                Genius            8/8/88
Bill               Smith             7/7/77

I want to run the below function three times and each time it runs prints out the next row:

 def AddFirstName():
     for i in range(3):
       for row in ws.iter_rows(min_row=1, min_col=1, max_row=3,max_col=1):
         for cell in row:
            print(cell.value)
                
            break
       break  # Tried to use breaks to break the loop so it only prints once for each loop

AddFirstName()
AddFirstName()
AddFirstName()

OR just run it outside the function like this:

    for i in range(3):
       for row in ws.iter_rows(min_row=1, min_col=1, max_row=3,max_col=1):
         for cell in row:
            print(cell.value)
                
            break
       break  # Tried to use breaks to break the loop so it only prints once for each loop

This prints:

George
George
George

How do I fix this so that it prints:

George             
Sam                
Bill

Verify the indentation. I executed the sample code below, and the outcomes were as anticipated:

sheetData = [
    ['George'],
    ['Bill'],
    ['Mike']
]
for i in range(3):
    for row in sheetData:
        for cell in row:
            print(cell)
            break
    break  # indent under second 'for' 

#output:
George
Bill
Mike

If that is not the problem, make sure that each time you cycle through the loop, ws.iter rows() actually gives you a new or the next row. Set a breakpoint there and check or keep an eye on the value of "row" each time.
