Refreshing Excel sheet with Python issue

I have an Excel sheet that pulls data from a worksheet on a server. I created a python program where I can refresh my Excel sheet to include any new data. Once it’s refreshed I should be able to add the new data based on the date it was added to another Excel sheet to import into a database. When I run my program and hit refresh, it refreshes perfectly. The issue is I can’t add the new data to the other Excel sheet unless I close my python program and reopen it. The new data is there, but it’s like it’s locked unless I close the program and rerun it.

def refresh_excel_connections(file_name):
    # Create a new instance of Excel
    xlapp = win32com.client.DispatchEx("Excel.Application")

    try:
        # Open the specific workbook
        xlwb = xlapp.Workbooks.Open(file_name)

        # Refresh all data connections
        xlwb.RefreshAll()

        # Ensure all asynchronous queries are done calculating
        xlapp.CalculateUntilAsyncQueriesDone()

        # Save the workbook
        xlwb.Save()

    finally:
        # Close the workbook
        xlwb.Close(SaveChanges=True)

        # Quit the application
        xlapp.Quit()
