I have 30+ xlsx
files in same directory and using python
I would like to convert all files to csv with utf-8 encoding, regardless of whatever encoding is present in the file. I am using python’s magic library to get the file names (below code).For conversion, I tried the code mention by SO user Julian here (I used the code posted here), but the code is throwing an error saying "InvalidFileException: openpyxl does not support file format, please check you can open it with Excel first. Supported formats are: .xlsx,.xlsm,.xltx,.xltm
. Below is the code that is throwing an error.The second issue is based on my limited python
knowledge I believe code will work for one excel file. How should I make it work for multiple files ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
# import a library to detect encodings import magic import glob print("File".ljust(45), "Encoding") for filename in glob.glob('path*.xlsx'): with open(filename, 'rb') as rawdata: result = magic.from_buffer(rawdata.read(2048)) print(filename.ljust(45), result)
Code throwing error from SO User github link mentioned here
from openpyxl import load_workbook import csv from os import sys def get_all_sheets(excel_file): sheets = [] workbook = load_workbook(excel_file,read_only=True,data_only=True) all_worksheets = workbook.get_sheet_names() for worksheet_name in all_worksheets: sheets.append(worksheet_name) return sheets def csv_from_excel(excel_file, sheets): workbook = load_workbook(excel_file,data_only=True) for worksheet_name in sheets: print("Export " + worksheet_name + " ...") try: worksheet = workbook.get_sheet_by_name(worksheet_name) except KeyError: print("Could not find " + worksheet_name) sys.exit(1) your_csv_file = open(''.join([worksheet_name,'.csv']), 'wb') wr = csv.writer(your_csv_file, quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL) for row in worksheet.iter_rows(): lrow = [] for cell in row: lrow.append(cell.value) wr.writerow(lrow) print(" ... done") your_csv_file.close() if not 2 <= len(sys.argv) <= 3: print("Call with " + sys.argv[0] + " <xlxs file> [comma separated list of sheets to export]") sys.exit(1) else: sheets = [] if len(sys.argv) == 3: sheets = list(sys.argv[2].split(',')) else: sheets = get_all_sheets(sys.argv[1]) assert(sheets != None and len(sheets ) > 0) csv_from_excel(sys.argv[1], sheets)

Answer
In first, the first error is obvious:
InvalidFileException: openpyxl does not support file format, please check you can open it with Excel first.
Does Excel successfully open this file? If yes, we need the workbook (or small part of it).
The answer to the second question:
#!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # vi:ts=4:et """I test to open multiple files.""" import csv from pathlib import Path from openpyxl import load_workbook # find all *.xlsx files into current directory # and iterate over it for file in Path('.').glob('*.xlsx'): # read the Excel file wb = load_workbook(file) # small test (optional) print(file, wb.active.title) # export all sheets to CSV for sheetname in wb.sheetnames: # Write to utf-8 encoded file with BOM signature with open(f'{file.stem}-{sheetname}.csv', 'w', encoding="utf-8-sig") as csvfile: # Write to CSV spamwriter = csv.writer(csvfile) # Iterate over rows in sheet for row in wb[sheetname].rows: # Write a row spamwriter.writerow([cell.value for cell in row])
Also you can explicitly specify the dialect of csv as csv.writer parameter.
