    Like in subject.

    If yes: When?

    Hi,

    There are no such plans yet.
    The fact is that SimpleXlsxWriter is designed to quickly create xlsx-files and almost does not store data in memory. Therefore, adding this capability is equivalent to creating a new library.

      Thanks,

      It's a pity.
      I know it is not easy.

    There is lib, https://github.com/brechtsanders/xlsxio reading and writing xlsx. It is very modest in reading (and writing, as well). But it not offer storage. So, you have to read data from xlsx to your container, than you can save it using simplexlxs (or xlsxio). Formats and lot of other stuff will be lost.

      I saw before this lib.
      Thanks for help.

    Hi,
    I need to write simple Excel table sheets - one by one.
    Herefore it would be useful to have the option "read an existing file" (not necessarily interpretating its contents) and "append a new sheet".
    Do you have any hint besides the use of the xlsxio lib?

    At my best knowledge xlsxio is single solid options for reading. And it is very modest.
