Note: Please read this guide detailing how to provide the necessary information for us to reproduce your bug.
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame()
with pd.ExcelWriter('test.xlsx', mode='w', engine='openpyxl') as writer: df.to_excel(writer)
with pd.ExcelWriter('test.xlsx', mode='a', engine='openpyxl') as writer: df.to_excel(writer)
Problem description
Appending to excel file with pandas>=1.2 produces file which Excel reports as corrupted and opens only after repair, forcing you to first open and repair file before passing it to someone else.
Looking at file with 7-Zip File Manager shows that after writing file with mode='a', some .xml files (app.xml, core.xml, theme1.xml, sheet1.xml) inside archive are duplicated (somehow). After Excel rapars file duplicates are gone, everything else looks the same.
With pandas 1.1.5 and same versions of other packages everything works as expected.
Expected Output
File which could be opened by Excel without any warnings.
Output of pd.show_versions()
