My excel sheet:
A B
1 first second
2
3
4 x y
5 z j
Python code:
df = pd.read_excel (filename, parse_cols=1)
For me works parameter skip_blank_lines=False
:
df = pd.read_excel ('test.xlsx',
parse_cols=1,
skip_blank_lines=False)
print (df)
A B
0 first second
1 NaN NaN
2 NaN NaN
3 x y
4 z j
Or if need omit first row:
df = pd.read_excel ('test.xlsx',
parse_cols=1,
skiprows=1,
skip_blank_lines=False)
print (df)
first second
0 NaN NaN
1 NaN NaN
2 x y
3 z j
