How to copy Fixed Path excel file to another path with same name combined with current date and fill data on it ?

I work on python script on sql server 2017

I need to copy fixed path G:\ExportFiles\StudentExport.xlsx' to destination G:\ImportExportExcel with same name combined with current datetime

and after that execute query to fill data on it .

issue on my query below export data from sql server table to excel file static header as column names on table

but i need to get column name on excel from fixed path template excel because header changed multi time dynamically

declare @ExportPath NVARCHAR(MAX)='G:\ImportExportExcel'
declare @FixedPath NVARCHAR(MAX)='G:\ExportFiles\StudentExport.xlsx'
CREATE TABLE #FinalExportList(TableCount INT IDENTITY(1,1),Cols NVARCHAR(MAX),TableName NVARCHAR(200))
insert into #FinalExportList(TableName,Cols)
values
('dbo.students','TRY_CONVERT(VARCHAR(MAX),StudentId) AS [StudentId], Name')

DECLARE
@TableName NVARCHAR(200)
,@SQL NVARCHAR(MAX) = N''
,@PythonScript NVARCHAR(MAX) = N''
,@ExportFilePath NVARCHAR(MAX) = N''


SELECT @ExportPath = CASE WHEN RIGHT(@ExportPath,1) = '\' THEN @ExportPath ELSE CONCAT(@ExportPath,'\') END


-- Just for testing purpose top 10 records are selected
SELECT @SQL = CONCAT('SELECT TOP 10 ',Cols,' FROM ',TableName,';')
,@TableName = TableName
FROM #FinalExportList


SET @PythonScript = N'
FullFilePath = ExcelFilePath+TableName+".xlsx"
InputDataSet.to_excel(FullFilePath,sheet_name=TableName.split(".")[-1],index=False)'

EXEC sp_execute_external_script
@language = N'Python'
,@script = @PythonScript
,@input_data_1 = @SQL
,@params = N'@ExcelFilePath NVARCHAR(MAX), @TableName NVARCHAR(200)'
,@ExcelFilePath = @ExportPath -- file path where Excel files are placed
,@TableName = @TableName

issue on this script export data to excel static but i need header dynamic as i write

I rename Excel files name to include the date in a DOS Batch file. I don't put in separators. MyFile.XLSX becomes MyFile_20220502_085515.XLSX

Sounds like your request is a bit more complicated, but I don't quite follow what you need.

but it give me data without header

SET @PythonScript = N'import shutil
FullFilePath = ExcelFilePath+"StudentExport.xlsx"
shutil.copy(FixedPath,ExportPath)
InputDataSet.to_excel(FullFilePath,sheet_name=TableName.split(".")[-1],index=False)
