Average Excel Columns

I am trying to average out values within a column at a certain range. I tried listing out the range as a tuple then for looping to be able to get the cell value. I then created a variable for the average but get the error 'TypeError: 'float' object is not iterable.

range1 = ws["A2":"A6]
for cell in range1:
    for x in cell:
        average = sum(x.value)/len(x.value)
        print(average)

Python and the Openpyxl API makes this kind of thing very easy.

rows = ws.iter_rows(min_row=2, max_row=6, max_col=1, values_only=True)
values = [row[0] for row in rows]
avg = sum(values) / len(values)

But you should probably check that the cells contain numbers, otherwise you'll see an exception.

Something like this will get you the mean of the cells.

import openpyxl as op

def main():
    wb = op.load_workbook(filename='C:\\Users\\####\\Desktop\\SO nonsense\\Book1.xlsm')
    
    range1 = wb['Sheet1']['A2:A6']
    cellsum = 0
    for i, cell in enumerate(range1, 1): 
        print(i)
        cellsum += cell[0].value
        
    print(cellsum / i)
main()
