How To Open an Existing Workbook File Using OpenPyXL?

Method

The `load_workbook` function can be used to open an existing workbook file. The function’s syntax is:

wb=openpyxl.load_workbook(filename,read_only,keep_vba,guess_types, data_only,keep_links)

Where:

`filename` — a string representing the file path and name of the file to be opened.

`read_only` — a boolean indicating read-only mode. Setting it to read-only helps save memory for large files.

`keep_vba` — a boolean for files with VBA macros. If True, it retains the VBA code.

`guess_types` — a boolean that determines whether to guess data types when reading data from the worksheet.

`data_only` — a boolean specifying whether to display the most recent calculation results in cells containing formulas.

`keep_links` — a boolean indicating whether to preserve external links.

This function returns a workbook object.
