Python - Openpyxl - Searching for a string value in one column, multiple sheets. How to detect for Null, None, False in a for loop

A quick solution I can think about is iterating through a list of the strings in the order you want to search for them.

Example:

search_strings = ["Current debt", "test"]

for xws in wb.sheetnames:
    worksheet = wb[xws]
    print(Style.RESET_ALL)
    print(Fore.BLUE, "Looping Through Worksheet Name -- ", worksheet, "Script line is -- ", get_linenumber())
    print(Style.RESET_ALL)

    current_search_index = 0
    found_cell = False
    for current_string in search_strings:
        for cell in worksheet['A']:
            try:
                if current_string == cell.value:
                    offset_colB_CD = cell.offset(row=0, column=1)
                    print(Fore.RED, ( "Line 52 -- worksheet -- ", worksheet, "Searching for --", current_string, "isinstance --", isinstance(current_string, type(None))))
                    if(offset_colB_CD.coordinate is None):
                        print("Line 54 -- null value detected in -- ", worksheet)
                    elif(offset_colB_CD.coordinate is not None):
                        print(Fore.LIGHTRED_EX, "Line 56 -- worksheet -- ", worksheet," -- cell cordinate found --", offset_colB_CD.coordinate, " -- cell value found --", offset_colB_CD.value )
                        print(Style.RESET_ALL)
                        found_cell = True
                    else:
                        print("Line 59 if statement passed by on else")
                    time.sleep(5)
            except (AttributeError, TypeError):
                continue
        if found_cell == False:
            current_search_index += 1
        else:
            break
    if found_cell == False:
        print(Fore.RED, "Line 67 -- ", current_string, "not found in -- ", worksheet)
        print(Style.RESET_ALL)

worksheet.values will return a list of tuples. At which point we can reduce our list using list comprehension and filtering.

matching_strs = ['Current_debt', 'test']
matches = [{'ws':ws, 'row_num':row_num, 'row':row} for ws in wb.worksheets for row_num, row in enumerate(ws.values) if row[0] in matching_strs]

This will return a list of dicts, with the attributes of ws, row_num, row. Which should provide all of the info that you would need to print out the results.

No need for the ( ) around the if tests.

To print the results just loop and test

for match in matches:
    # Return position [1] is the equivalent of column B
    # since indexing starts at 0.
    if match['row'][1]:
        print( Match found... )

Answer To Question

In my initial question, I failed to view the number of elements being directly queried in the column. As such if a direct hit was not attained, it moved on. I could not use 'None', because, it had other elements present.

The best option was to build a list and then filter through the list to see if it contained the string. If it does contain the string invoke first choice command, and if not invoke alternative command.
