Reading excel file with pandas

Question

I have tried to read an excel file using pandas however I haven't been able to. I am using python version 3.8 and still haven't been able to do it. I want to make the excel file a list in python and then use that list in an option box via tkinter. However without being able to read the file I cannot do this.

The code I'm using is:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_excel (r'downloads\Clients - Nybble HelpDesk.xlsx')
print (df)

The error I'm recieving is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Natasha\OneDrive - Nybble.co.uk LTD\Desktop\excel export.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pandas as pd
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'

Answer 1

In the command line try pip install pandas to install pandas first. Then re-run your code.

Other installation information is available here: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/getting_started/install.html

Answer 2

you can save time by downloading the anacondas distribution and use the spyder IDE. This will prevent the need to install pandas and will come with a whole host of useful packages that you will likely use in your day to day.

See the link: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/navigator/tutorials/pandas/

Answer 3

First install pandas. If you are using python shell then, open command prompt and type pip install pandas . If you are using Anaconda then, open Conda Prompt and type conda install pandas . You have your pandas library installed now. Now for your code,

import pandas as pd
excel_file = 'filepath.xls'
df = pd.read_excel(excel_file)
print (df)

Now try it! and be sure to check the path of your file. Save the file in the same folder where you are saving the .py file.
