import pandas
df = pandas.read_excel(open('Test.csv','rb'), sheetname='Sheet 1')
grouped = df.groupby('Date (IT)')

Answer 1

Looks like your Date (IT) column has mixed values (string and integers, dates, or missing values). So when pandas try to compare each value it fails because of different types. Please take a look at the column data and make sure all data is in a valid format.

Answer 2

I don't have PyCharm installed at the moment but in the command line you can try to run:

pip uninstall pandas 

followed by a reinstall : pip install pandas

Or you can always try to run it from PyCharm. It will automatically suggest to install the missing package.
