How to keep columns header on excel without change after export data to excel file? - ahmedbarbary - May-03-2022
I work on sql server 2017 I run script depend on python language v 3.10 .
I need to export data to excel fileStudentExport.xlsx already exist and keep header wihout change after export.
header of excel file StudentExport.xlsx before export data to it as below
StudentId,StudentName
after run script query to export data to StudentExport.xlsx Header changed to
StudentId,Name
my issue is header changed from column name StudentName to Name (exist on sql)
Exactly I need Export data to excel StudentExport.xlsx and depend on header exist on excel file
not depend on columns header of table exist on Sql server .
I export data to excel by this line
InputDataSet.to_excel(FullFilePath,sheet_name=TableName.split(".")[-1],index=False)
I try to change it to keep header on excel file StudentExport.xlsx without change as below
InputDataSet.to_excel(FullFilePath,sheet_name=TableName.split(".")[-1], header=False, startrow= 1,index=False)
but it give me data without header and header row blank
blank header

so can any one help me to export data to excel file without change or overwrite header ?
Notes Not practical way to change column name from Name to StudentName on sql server table create view to use it as excel header .
expected result
StudentId StudentName

insert into #FinalExportList(TableName,Cols)
