Iterate through all files in a folder and make simple calculation
#2
What is Files?
You're importing it and then you iterate over Files, which is not possible, because it's a module.

If you want to get a list of file, use os.listdir or use pathlib.Path.

from pathlib import Path


my_home = Path.home()
my_data = my_home / "Desktop/data"

for file in my_data.glob("*.xlsx"):
    print(file, type(file))
    wb = xl.load_workbook(file)
    # if openpyxl is complaining about file, convert it to a str
    # wb = xl.load_workbook(str(file))
    
If openpyxl doesn't support pathlib objects, then you convert the pathlib object to a str.
