<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am new to python and am trying to correct the follow error:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>TypeError: sequence item 1: expected string, NoneType found<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The error message is referencing line 86 of my code:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>ws.cell(row=row, column=1).value = ','.join([str(ino), fn, ln, sdob])<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I’m understanding this correctly, the code is expecting a string, but not finding it. I’m wondering, what is meant by a “string” and also how I can figure out the problem and correct it.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone could help me understand what the error is and needs to be done to correct it, I think I might be able to fill in the blanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
