  If passing an existing ExcelWriter object, then the sheet will be added to the existing workbook. This can be used to save different DataFrames to one workbook:

      >>> writer = ExcelWriter('output.xlsx')
      >>> df1.to_excel(writer,'Sheet1')
      >>> df2.to_excel(writer,'Sheet2')
      >>> writer.save()
