Read .xlsx and text files in a loop using openpyxl
I have a list of .xlsx files (names 1.xlsx, 2.xlsx etc) in a directory, on which I need to insert data from its corresponding text file (named 1.txt, 2.txt etc) on the second worksheet named 'Filtered' and save it. The code I am trying is

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

import os
from openpyxl.reader.excel import load_workbook
from openpyxl.drawing.image import Image
import csv

directoryPath = r'/REPORTS/'
os.chdir(directoryPath)
folder_list = os.listdir(directoryPath)
for folders, sub_folders, file in os.walk(directoryPath):  
    for name in file:
        if name.endswith(".xlsx"):
            filename = os.path.join(folders, name)
            wb = load_workbook(filename, data_only=True)
            ws = wb.get_sheet_by_name('Filtered')

##here is where the text files are stored
            directory = os.path.join("/REPORTS/temp", "path")
            for root,dirs,files in os.walk(directory):
               for file in files:
                    if file.endswith(".txt"):
                        f = open(textfile, 'r')
                        reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter='\t')
                        for row in reader:
                           ws.append(row)
                           wb.save(filename)

Although the code goes through all excel files, it is not going through the text files to write its corresponding result onto the 2nd worksheet of each excel file. Any suggestions to edit the code ?
