Pandas read_excel gives yes no while reading an excel file

Question

Using pandas to read an excel. I know its straightforward, but the dataframe output is just yes and no.

Regarding the excel file, just 11 columns with normal data, single sheet, with sheet name as Sheet1

In [1]: import pandas

In [2]: import pandas as pd
In [3]: data = pd.read_excel('/path/fileName.xlsx')

In [4]: data
Out[4]:
    No
0  Yes

Using Python 3.6.10 (default, May 24 2020, 21:54:41) and IPython 6.5.0.

Things i have already tried:

1. Copied the data from this given excel to a new excel file and tried reading using read_excel and that worked as expected.
2. Went through Documentation
3. Searched web for some solution.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

I encountered similar problem when I started importing excel files into Ipython but I was able to fix it after some time.

Try the following:

In [1]: import pandas

In [2]: import pandas as pd

In [3]: df = pd.read_excel(r'/path/fileName.xlsx', sheet_name =0)

df.head()

Make sure you add letter r just like I did above before the data path on your PC.

Second method:

import openpyxl as op
from openpyxl import load_workbook

df = load_workbook(r"path of your dataset in your PC", sheet_name = 0)

df.head()

The above will show what you have in the first worksheet. Repeat same code and change sheet_name = 1, 2, 3,...... to view others.
