excel - Python - How to use a for loop to write data to a cell, then move to the next row -

i have feels problem relatively simple solution, point escapes research. i'm attempting write items tuple 4 consecutive rows using loop, can't seem figure out. suspect can done iter_rows module in openpyxl package, haven't been able apply within loop. following piece of code results in generation of .xlsx file last item tuple assigned cell 'a2':

from openpyxl import workbook  nfc_east = ('dal', 'was', 'phi', 'nyg')  wb = workbook()  ws = wb.active  row_cell = 2  in nfc_east:      column_cell = 'a'     ws.cell(row = row_cell, column = column_cell).value = str(i)     row_cell = row_cell + 1  wb.save("row_creation_loop.xlsx") 

all suggestions , (constructive) criticism welcome. thank you!

if want write cells tuple, can directly syntax - ws['a1'] = <something> write value cell a1 .

example -

from openpyxl import workbook nfc_east = ('dal', 'was', 'phi', 'nyg') wb = workbook() ws = wb.active row, in enumerate(nfc_east):     column_cell = 'a'     ws[column_cell+str(row+2)] = str(i)  wb.save("row_creation_loop.xlsx") 

when using syntax - ws.cell(row = row_cell, column = column_cell).value , column_cell has integer, not string , a column, have give value column argument 1 (for b 2) , etc.
