<br></blockquote><div><br>This is a default of xlwt behaviour for writing Excel files. It assumes it would generally be an unintended mistake to write a cell then overwrite it later with something else hence it by default raises an exception when this happens. <br>
<br>Anyway, you can override this behaviour and enable cell overwriting by adding the parameter "cell_overwrite_ok=True" when you create a worksheet. However I think you probably are just accidentally (and erroneously) overwriting the same row accidentally, so the error is probably meaningful in your case.<br>
<br>Wahtever the case, I've taken the liberty to knock what you posted into shape a bi -- The following script now works (well it finds files and doesn't generate the error you reported.) I've also tidied up the structure and formatting as you'll see:<br>
