Writing a Python Pandas DataFrame to Word document

You can write the table straight into a .docx file using the python-docx library.

If you are using the Conda or installed Python using Anaconda, you can run the command from the command line:

conda install python-docx --channel conda-forge

Or to pip install from the command line:

pip install python-docx

After that is installed, we can use it to open the file, add a table, and then populate the table’s cell text with the data frame data.

import docx
import pandas as pd

# i am not sure how you are getting your data, but you said it is a
# pandas data frame
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# open an existing document
doc = docx.Document('./test.docx')

# add a table to the end and create a reference variable
# extra row is so we can add the header row
t = doc.add_table(df.shape[0]+1, df.shape[1])

# add the header rows.
for j in range(df.shape[-1]):
    t.cell(0,j).text = df.columns[j]

# add the rest of the data frame
for i in range(df.shape[0]):
    for j in range(df.shape[-1]):
        t.cell(i+1,j).text = str(df.values[i,j])

# save the doc
doc.save('./test.docx')
