AttributeError: 'df' object has no attribute 'dtype'

Question

I was importing an xlsx file to Google Colab using code

df = pd.ExcelFile('/content/gdrive/My Drive/df.xlsx')

and encountered error

AttributeError: 'ExcelFile' object has no attribute 'dtype'.

I was expecting df4 to be a DataFrame and check its shape. How can I do this? Thank you.

Answer 1

According to documentation , the proper way to read the excel file is:

dfs = pd.read_excel(file_name, sheet_name=None)
