I know how to get the list of sheet names. The excel file I am using has multiple sheets. How do I select the first one sequentially ? I don't know the name of the sheet but I need to select the first one. How would I go about this ?
Use pandas. read_excel() function to read excel sheet into pandas DataFrame, by default it loads the first sheet from the excel file and parses the first row as a DataFrame column name. Excel file has an extension . xlsx.
sheet_name param on pandas. read_excel() is used to read multiple sheets from excel. This supports reading excel sheets by name or position. When you read multiple sheets, it creates a Dict of DataFrame, each key in Dictionary is represented as Sheet name and DF for Dict value.
Log. Message("Row: " + VarToString(i), s); Excel.
Answer. You need adding the sheet_name parameter to the generated pandas' read_excel() function code to access specific sheet from Excel file that contains multiple sheets.
The first sheet is automatically selected when the Excel table is read into a dataframe.
To be explicit however, the command is :
import pandas as pd
fd = 'file path'
data = pd.read_excel( fd, sheet_name=0 )
Use of 'sheetname' is deprecated. Please use sheet_name
Also this bug at the time of writing: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/17107
Use 'sheetname', not 'sheet_name'.
