Syntax of close()

The syntax to close an excel file in openpyxl is very simple i.e

workbook_object.close()

Here workbook object is the workbook which is open and now you want to close it. Its better to save the workbook before closing it.

Example: Openpyxl close() function

An important thing to note is that close() function will close any file which is open in current python environment. Ofcourse, there is no need to close a file which is not open and already closed. 

>>> # First save the file

>>> workbook.save(file)

>>> workbook.close()

Close function will not take any argument. It will simply close the workbook object. After closing the file, you will not be able to access it until you open it again.
