# Excel Spreadsheet Processing
Use `openpyxl` to read and write .xlsx files.
## Quick Start
```python
from openpyxl import load_workbook
wb = load_workbook("input.xlsx")
ws = wb["Sheet1"]
value = ws["A1"].value
ws["B2"] = 42
ws["C2"] = "=SUM(A2:B2)"
wb.save("output.xlsx")
```
Use this for direct cell edits, formula updates, and simple workbook changes.
## Reading Data with pandas
```python
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel('file.xlsx') # First sheet
all_sheets = pd.read_excel('file.xlsx', sheet_name=None) # All sheets as dict
```
## Common Pitfalls
- **Cell indices are 1-based**: `ws.cell(row=1, column=1)` is A1.
- **`data_only=True` destroys formulas on save**: Use a separate workbook object for reading calculated values.
- **`ws.max_row` overcounts**: May include formatted-but-empty rows. Scan the column to find the last non-empty cell when you need the true data range.
