Python: Pandas pd.read_excel giving ImportError: Install xlrd >= 0.9.0 for Excel support

Question

I am trying to read a .xlsx with pandas, but get the follwing error:

data = pd.read_excel(low_memory=False, io=\"DataAnalysis1/temp1.xlsx\").fillna(         


        

Answer 1

I was getting an error

"ImportError: Install xlrd >= 1.0.0 for Excel support"

on Pycharm for below code

import pandas as pd
df2 = pd.read_excel("data.xlsx")
print(df2.head(3))
print(df2.tail(3))

Solution : pip install xlrd

It resolved error after using this. Also no need to use "import xlrd"
