Open existing workbook #1059

Feature Request

There is a function workbook.get_worksheet_by_name(). A nice extension would be to open existing workbooks xlsxwriter.get_workbokk_by_name(). This would allow to modify existing workbooks with xlsxwriter.

XlsxWriter doesn’t support reading or modifying existing files and doesn’t intend to in the future. Take a look at OpenPyXL instead.
