Can we make copy of a static file in Django?

Question

My requirement is to write into a sample excel (static) file, and download the copied static file in the device. The copy is required cause the sample file contains some formatting, which I need in the downloaded file as well.

Directory Structure : 
  
Django Project     
    - project     
    - app     
    - static         
        - files             
            -> sample.xlsx         
        - css         
        - js       
    - manage.py

Now, I need to create a copy of sample.xlsx file, write some details in it and download it.

I've tried below code, in which I am creating a new file and copying the content from sample.xlsx to new_file.xlsx . But it does not copy the formatting from sample.xlsx

def exportXLS(request):
    response = HttpResponse(content_type='application/ms-excel')
    response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="new_file.xlsx"'

    sample = load_workbook(sample_file_path)  #opening sample.xlsx
    active_sheet = sample.worksheets[0] 
    
    new_workbook = Workbook() #creating new excel file
    worksheet = wb.active
    worksheet.title = "Sheet Name"
    
    mr = active_sheet.max_row 
    mc = active_sheet.max_column 
    
    #copying values from sample.xlsx to new_file.xlsx
    for i in range (1, mr + 1): 
        for j in range (1, mc + 1): 
            c = active_sheet.cell(row = i, column = j) 
            worksheet.cell(row = i, column = j).value = c.value
    
    new_workbook.save(response)

    return response

==> I would like to make a COPY of sample.xlsx first then write the details in the copy, then download it.
