Let’s read an Excel workbook into a DataFrame:

\n
import pandas as pd\n\ndata = pd.read_excel("budget.xlsx")\n\ndata
\n

Output:

\n

\n \n \n \n \n

Let’s say we want to filter all the stores located in the North zone. We can do so using the query() method as shown below:

\n
data.query("Zone == 'North'")
\n

Output:

\n

\n \n \n \n \n

\n
\n

Note: A column name that contains spaces must be surrounded by backticks. This is the reason why the column name Store Code is surrounded by backticks (` `).
