Reading an Excel file with a single worksheet

\n

Let’s say we have an Excel file named sales.xlsx and the file contains a single worksheet named Data.

\n

\n \n \n \n \n

\n

We can read the data inside the file into a DataFrame using the read_excel() method as shown below:

\n
import pandas as pd
\n
df = pd.read_excel("sales.xlsx")\ndf.head()
\n

Reading an Excel file with multiple worksheets

\n

Let’s say we have an Excel file named budget.xlsx and the file contains 2 worksheets: ZoneWise & LineWise.

\n

\n \n \n \n \n

\n

If we read the data inside the file, pandas, by default, will read the first sheet: ZoneWise.

\n

But what if we want to read the LineWise sheet?

\n

We can do so by passing the name of the second sheet to the sheet_name parameter, as shown below:

\n
df = pd.read_excel("sales.xlsx", sheet_name="LineWise")\ndf.head()
\n

\n \n \n \n \n

\n

We can read both the sheets inside the budget.xlsx file by passing the sheet names inside a list object to the sheet_name parameter.

\n
budget = pd.read_excel("budget.xlsx", sheet_name=["ZoneWise", "LineWise"])\nbudget
\n

The result is going to be a dictionary.
