Loading Excel spreadsheet as pandas DataFrame Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025 Comments Improve Suggest changes 5 Likes Like Report Pandas is a very powerful and scalable tool for data analysis. It supports multiple file format as we might get the data in any format. Pandas also have support for excel file format. We first need to import Pandas and load excel file, and then parse excel file sheets as a Pandas dataframe. Python3 1== import pandas as pd # Import the excel file and call it xls_file excel_file = pd.ExcelFile('pandasEx.xlsx') # View the excel_file's sheet names print(excel_file.sheet_names) # Load the excel_file's Sheet1 as a dataframe df = excel_file.parse('Sheet1') print(df) Output: One can also read specific columns using 'usecols' parameter of read_excel() method. Python3 # import pandas lib as pd import pandas as pd require_cols = [0, 3] # only read specific columns from an excel file required_df = pd.read_excel('SampleWork2.xlsx', usecols = require_cols) print(required_df) Output: Name Percentage 0 Ankit 95 1 Rahul 90 2 Shaurya 85 3 Aishwarya 80 4 Priyanka 75 For more examples, refer https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python/creating-a-dataframe-using-excel-files/ Create Quiz Comment S schrodinger_19 Follow 5 Improve S schrodinger_19 Follow 5 Improve Article Tags : Technical Scripter Python Technical Scripter 2018 Explore Python FundamentalsPython Introduction 2 min read Input and Output in Python 4 min read Python Variables 4 min read Python Operators 4 min read Python Keywords 2 min read Python Data Types 8 min read Conditional Statements in Python 3 min read Loops in Python - For, While and Nested Loops 5 min read Python Functions 5 min read Recursion in Python 4 min read Python Lambda Functions 5 min read Python Data StructuresPython String 5 min read Python Lists 4 min read Python Tuples 4 min read Python Dictionary 3 min read Python Sets 6 min read Python Arrays 7 min read List Comprehension in Python 4 min read Advanced PythonPython OOP Concepts 11 min read Python Exception Handling 5 min read File Handling in Python 4 min read Python Database Tutorial 4 min read Python MongoDB Tutorial 2 min read Python MySQL 9 min read Python Packages 10 min read Python Modules 7 min read Python DSA Libraries 15 min read List of Python GUI Library and Packages 3 min read Data Science with PythonNumPy Tutorial - Python Library 3 min read Pandas Tutorial 4 min read Matplotlib Tutorial 5 min read Python Seaborn Tutorial 15+ min read StatsModel Library - Tutorial 3 min read Learning Model Building in Scikit-learn 8 min read TensorFlow Tutorial 2 min read PyTorch Tutorial 6 min read Web Development with PythonFlask Tutorial 8 min read Django Tutorial | Learn Django Framework 7 min read Django ORM - Inserting, Updating & Deleting Data 4 min read Templating With Jinja2 in Flask 6 min read Django Templates 5 min read Python | Build a REST API using Flask 3 min read How to Create a basic API using Django Rest Framework ? 4 min read Python PracticePython Quiz 1 min read Python Coding Practice 1 min read Python Interview Questions and Answers 15+ min read Like
