Reading an Excel file in python using pandas

Question

I am trying to read an excel file this way    newFile   pd ExcelFile PATH FileName xlsx  ParsedData   pd io parsers ExcelFile parse newFile    which throws an error that says two arguments expected  I don t know what the second argument is and also what I am trying to achieve here is to convert an Excel file to a DataFrame  Am I doing it the right way  or is there any other way to do this using pandas

Loading an excel file without explicitly naming a sheet but instead giving the number of the sheet order (often one will simply load the first sheet) goes like:

import pandas as pd
myexcel = pd.ExcelFile("C:/filename.xlsx")
myexcel = myexcel.parse(myexcel.sheet_names[0])

Since .sheet_names returns a list of sheet names, it is easy to load one or more sheets by simply calling the list element(s).

Thought i should add here  that if you want to access rows or columns to loop through them  you do this  import pandas as pd    open the file xlsx   pd ExcelFile  quot PATH FileName xlsx quot      get the first sheet as an object sheet1   xlsx parse 0         get the first column as a list you can loop through   where the is 0 in the code below change to the row or column number you want     column   sheet1 icol 0  real    get the first row as a list you can loop through row   sheet1 irow 0  real   Edit  The methods icol i  and irow i  are deprecated now  You can use sheet1 iloc   i  to get the i-th col and sheet1 iloc i    to get the i-th row

This is much simple and easy way   import pandas df   pandas read excel open  your xls xlsx filename   rb    sheetname  Sheet 1     or using sheet index starting 0 df   pandas read excel open  your xls xlsx filename   rb    sheetname 2    check out documentation full details http   pandas pydata org pandas-docs version 0 17 1 generated pandas read excel html  FutureWarning  The sheetname keyword is deprecated for newer Pandas versions  use sheet name instead

Close  first you call ExcelFile  but then you call the  parse method and pass it the sheet name    gt  gt  gt  xl   pd ExcelFile  dummydata xlsx    gt  gt  gt  xl sheet names  u Sheet1   u Sheet2   u Sheet3    gt  gt  gt  df   xl parse  Sheet1    gt  gt  gt  df head                     Tid  dummy1    dummy2    dummy3    dummy4    dummy5    0 2006-09-01 00 00 00       0  5 894611  0 605211  3 842871  8 265307    1 2006-09-01 01 00 00       0  5 712107  0 605211  3 416617  8 301360    2 2006-09-01 02 00 00       0  5 105300  0 605211  3 090865  8 335395    3 2006-09-01 03 00 00       0  4 098209  0 605211  3 198452  8 170187    4 2006-09-01 04 00 00       0  3 338196  0 605211  2 970015  7 765058          dummy6  dummy7    dummy8    dummy9   0  0 623354       0  2 579108  2 681728   1  0 554211       0  7 210000  3 028614   2  0 567841       0  6 940000  3 644147   3  0 581470       0  6 630000  4 016155   4  0 595100       0  6 350000  3 974442     What you re doing is calling the method which lives on the class itself  rather than the instance  which is okay  although not very idiomatic   but if you re doing that you would also need to pass the sheet name    gt  gt  gt  parsed   pd io parsers ExcelFile parse xl   Sheet1    gt  gt  gt  parsed columns Index  u Tid   u dummy1   u dummy2   u dummy3   u dummy4   u dummy5   u dummy6   u dummy7   u dummy8   u dummy9    dtype object

Here is an updated method with syntax that is more common in python code  It also prevents you from opening the same file multiple times   import pandas as pd  sheet1  sheet2   None  None with pd ExcelFile  PATH FileName xlsx   as reader      sheet1   pd read excel reader  sheet name  Sheet1       sheet2   pd read excel reader  sheet name  Sheet2     https   pandas pydata org pandas-docs stable reference api pandas read excel html

You just need to feed the path to your file to pd read excel  import pandas as pd  file path      my excel xlsx  data frame   pd read excel file path    Checkout the documentation to explore parameters like skiprows to ignore rows when loading the excel
