Answer 1

You cannot import local directory excel files directly in Google collab. You have to upload the excel file in the Collab directory and then you can import it.

Answer 2

Try uploading files on drive first. Then read. Go to file. Copy path. Try following code.

from google.colab import files
Upload= files.upload
Df= pd.read_csv("file_path_file_name")
df.head

In Google Collab you have to upload it in sample_data folder. But the file will lost after you close it. Other alternatives are jupyter notebook where you can do everything in google collab but offline.

Files >> sample_data >> upload files
