I am trying to read a .xlsx
with pandas, but get the follwing error:
data = pd.read_excel(low_memory=False, io="DataAnalysis1/temp1.xlsx").fillna(value=0)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Install xlrd >= 0.9.0 for Excel support
I've also tried
data = pd.read_excel("DataAnalysis1/temp1.xlsx", low_memory=False).fillna(value=0)
And I Still get the same error.
Background: I'm trying to extract an excel file with multiple worksheets as a dict of data frames.I installed xlrd version 0.9.0 and the latest version(1.1.0) but I still get the same error. Thanks!
This question is related to
python
excel
python-2.7
pandas
This happened to me after I ran a script with cProfile a la python3 -m cProfile script.py
even though xlrd was already installed and had never thrown this error before. it persisted even under python3 script.py
. (Granted, I agree this wasn't what happened to OP, given the obvious import error)
However, for cases like mine, the following fixed the issue, despite being told "requirement already met" in every case.
pip install --upgrade pandas
pip install --upgrade xlrd
Pretty confounding stuff; not sure if cProfile was the cause or just a coincidence
The following should work, assuming your pip install
operated on python2.
python3 -m pip install xlrd
You need to install the "xlrd" lib
For Linux (Ubuntu and Derivates):
Installing via pip: python -m pip install --user xlrd
Install system-wide via a Linux package manager: *sudo apt-get install python-xlrd
Windows:
Installing via pip: *pip install xlrd
Download the files: https://pypi.org/project/xlrd/
I was getting an error
"ImportError: Install xlrd >= 1.0.0 for Excel support"
on Pycharm for below code
import pandas as pd
df2 = pd.read_excel("data.xlsx")
print(df2.head(3))
print(df2.tail(3))
Solution : pip install xlrd
It resolved error after using this.
Also no need to use "import xlrd
"
I don't know if this will be helpful for someone, but I had the same problem.
I wrote pip install xlrd
in the anaconda prompt while in the specific environment and it said it was installed, but when I looked at the installed packages it wasn't there.
What solved the problem was "moving" (I don't know the terminology for it) into the Scripts
folder of the specific environment and do the pip install xlrd
there.
Hope this is useful for someone :D
This works for me: For Python 3
pip3 install xlrd --user
For Python2
pip install xlrd --user
I had the same problem and none of the above answers worked. If you go into the settings (CTRL + ALT + s) and search for project interpreter you will see all of the installed packages. Click the + button at the top right and search for xlrd, then click install package at the bottom left.
I had already done the "pip install xlrd" command from the file location of my python.exe before this, so you may need to do that as well. (you can find the file location by searching it in windows search bar and right click -> open file location, then type cmd into the file explorer address bar)
I encountered same problem and took 2 hours to figure it out.
First of all you need to install xlrd & pandas packages. Then try below code.
import xlrd
import pandas as pd
xl = pd.ExcelFile("fileName.xlsx")
print(xl.parse(xl.sheet_names[0]))
As @COLDSPEED so eloquently pointed out the error explicitly tells you to install xlrd.
pip install xlrd
And you will be good to go.
Another possibility, is the machine has an older version of xlrd installed separately, and it's not in the "..:\Python27\Scripts.." folder.
In another word, there are 2 different versions of xlrd in the machine.
when you check the version below, it reads the one not in the "..:\Python27\Scripts.." folder, no matter how updated you done with pip.
print xlrd.__version__
Delete the whole redundant sub-folder, and it works. (in addition to xlrd, I had another library encountered the same)
I encountered a similar issue trying to use xlrd in jupyter notebook. I notice you are using a virtual environment and that was the key to my issue as well. I had xlrd installed in my venv, but I had not properly installed a kernel for that virtual environment in my notebook.
To get it to work, I created my virtual environment and activated it.
Then... pip install ipykernel
And then... ipython kernel install --user --name=myproject
Finally, start jupyter notebooks and when you create a new notebook, select the name you created (in this example, 'myproject')
Hope that helps.
Either use:
pip install xlrd
And if you are using conda, use
conda install -c anaconda xlrd
That's it. good luck.
Was getting the error while I was using jupyter.
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xlrd'
...
ImportError: Install xlrd >= 0.9.0 for Excel support
it was resolved for me after using.
!pip install xlrd
Please make sure your python or python3 can see xlrd installation. I had a situation where python3.5 and python3.7 were installed in two different locations. While xlrd was installed with python3.5, I was using python3 (from python3.7 dir) to run my script and got the same error reported above. When I used the correct python (viz. python3.5 dir) to run my script, I was able to read the excel spread sheet without a problem.
Since December 2020 xlrd no longer supports xlsx-Files as explained in the official changelog. You can use openpyxl
instead:
pip install openpyxl
And in your python-file:
import pandas as pd
pd.read_excel('path/to/file.xlsx', engine='openpyxl')
