Python can work with excel spreadsheets quite easily.

Using the Pandas library the task is even easier.

Let's take the example of Apple share prices here.

We create an example DataFrame to save as an excel file.

df = pd.DataFrame(index=["2020-10-09","2020-10-12","2020-10-13"],
            	  data={
                     "Open" : [115.27999877929688, 
                        	   120.05999755859375, 
                               125.2699966430664],
                     "High" : [117.0, 
                               125.18000030517578, 
                               125.38999938964844],
                     "Low" : [114.91999816894531, 
                              119.27999877929688,
                              119.6500015258789],
                     "Close" : [116.97000122070312, 
                                124.4000015258789, 
                                121.0999984741211]
                     })

# We save the dataframe as an excel file
