Pandas cannot open an Excel xlsx file

0 votes

Please see my code below:

import pandas
df = pandas.read_excel('cat.xlsx')

After running that, it gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\OneDrive\桌面\practice.py", line 4, in <module>
    df = pandas.read_excel('cat.xlsx')
  File "D:\python\lib\site-packages\pandas\util\_decorators.py", line 296, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kwargs)

    io = ExcelFile(io, engine=engine)

    self._reader = self._engines[engine](self._io)

    super().__init__(filepath_or_buffer)

    self.book = self.load_workbook(filepath_or_buffer)
  File "D:\python\lib\site-packages\pandas\io\excel\_xlrd.py", line 37, in load_workbook
    return open_workbook(filepath_or_buffer)
  File "D:\python\lib\site-packages\xlrd\__init__.py", line 170, in open_workbook
    raise XLRDError(FILE_FORMAT_DESCRIPTIONS[file_format]+'; not supported')
xlrd.biffh.XLRDError: Excel xlsx file; not supported

I tried uninstall and reinstall Pandas with the pip command. The error persists. I have xlrd 2.0.1 and Pandas 1.1.5 installed.

XLRDError: Excel xlsx file not supported by XLRDError: Excel xlsx file not supported by XLRDError

Out[3]: '1.1.5' In [3]: pd. version
There are a few options for resolving this issue.

Using the engine='openpyxl' option in Pandas 1.2 fixes the problem.

Use the engine='openpyxl' option.

In [4]:

df = pd.read_excel('test.xlsx',engine='openpyxl')

In [5]:

df.size
