Iterating over tables in an existing Excel workbook with OpenPyXL

There is a way to iterate over Excel tables with OpenPyXL. The functionality has changed in newer versions of OpenPyXL. The iterator is accessed from the worksheets tables property. 

First we load the workbook and set the active sheet:

In order to access all tables, we can do a for loop of the worksheet.tables.values(). After that we can get the attributes of the table, for example, the name with table.name and the tables reference with table.ref

When we have the Worksheet object ws we can then iterate over the tables.
