pandas.read_excel¶
- pandas.read_excel(io, sheetname, **kwds)¶
Read an Excel table into a pandas DataFrame
Parameters : io : string, file-like object or xlrd workbook
If a string, expected to be a path to xls or xlsx file
sheetname : string
Name of Excel sheet
header : int, default 0
Row to use for the column labels of the parsed DataFrame
skiprows : list-like
Rows to skip at the beginning (0-indexed)
skip_footer : int, default 0
Rows at the end to skip (0-indexed)
index_col : int, default None
Column to use as the row labels of the DataFrame. Pass None if there is no such column
parse_cols : int or list, default None
- If None then parse all columns,
- If int then indicates last column to be parsed
- If list of ints then indicates list of column numbers to be parsed
- If string then indicates comma separated list of column names and column ranges (e.g. “A:E” or “A,C,E:F”)
na_values : list-like, default None
List of additional strings to recognize as NA/NaN
keep_default_na : bool, default True
If na_values are specified and keep_default_na is False the default NaN values are overridden, otherwise they’re appended to
verbose : boolean, default False
Indicate number of NA values placed in non-numeric columns
engine: string, default None
If io is not a buffer or path, this must be set to identify io. Acceptable values are None or xlrd
convert_float : boolean, default True
convert integral floats to int (i.e., 1.0 –> 1). If False, all numeric data will be read in as floats: Excel stores all numbers as floats internally.
