how to Reading Excel File in Python
Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:16 p.m.
To read an Excel file in Python, you can use the Pandas library. Here is an example code snippet:
# import pandas library
import pandas as pd
# read Excel file
df = pd.read_excel('example.xlsx', sheet_name='Sheet1')
# print first five rows of the DataFrame
print(df.head())
In this example, we are importing the Pandas library and then using the read_excel()
function to read an Excel file named ‘example.xlsx’ and load the data into a Pandas DataFrame.
You can specify the sheet name or index of the sheet that you want to read as an argument to the read_excel()
function. By default, it reads the first sheet.
Finally, we are printing the first five rows of the DataFrame using the head()
method.
There are many other options and arguments available for reading Excel files using Pandas. Refer to the Pandas documentation for more details.
