Yes, much better.
Now you are able to capture the values of E,G,F columns of every row you are going through.

As for saving the results, here are a few things you need to know about "openpyxl" module.
It has classes like "Workbook", "Worksheet", "Cell" etc. in it.

If "ws" is a "worksheet" object, then:
Code:
ws['V4']

is the cell object 'V4' in the worksheet.

The cell object has many attributes like "value", "fill", "comment" etc.

If you want to make changes to a cell, you set its attributes.
So, to set the cell's value, you set its "value" attribute. For example:
Code:
ws['V4'].value = 'Hello, World!'

will set the value of the cell 'V4' to 'Hello, World!'

Another example; the following:
Code:
ws['V4'].fill = PatternFill(bgColor="FF0000", fill_type = "solid")

will fill the red color in the cell 'V4'.

Now in your code, the following statement:
Code:
NG = ws[score_col_no + str(row_no)]

assigns the value of the cell object 'V4' to variable NG.
Edit: Sorry, this should read: "assigns the cell object 'V4' to variable NG."

However, this line:
Code:
NG = dict_pos[cpos]

sets the cell, not the cell's value.

Another thing => you need to recalculate "NG" inside the loop every time "row_no" increases.
Also => remove the second "if .. else" statement inside the "while" loop.
