The pandas code read_excel() does not work in Python/Excel, unlike in native Python.
I have an issue when I try to read a specific workbook in Excel using pandas read_excel()
The following code was tested natively and it worked:
import pandas as pd
pth = "C:/Users/XXXX/Python 101/SUBPATH/"
input = "inputworkbook.xlsx"
wb = pth + input
df1 = pd.read_excel(wb, sheet_name="Sheet1", skiprows=1)
When I try to execute it from an excel workbook, I got this error message :
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'C:/Users/XXXX/Python 101/SUBPATH/inputworkbook.xlsx'
Could you explain me why it doesn't work the same ? (Thanks)
That's data security, more details in related post.
I don't think that's a big issue. You may Power Query external file (or any other source) and do nothing with it, just save as connection only. Next on Python
df=xl("MyConnectionName")
and do all transformations with Python.
Thanks for your reply. It is unfortunate. Do you know the reason why ?
Python is easier (more flexible) than Power Query for ETL (from my point of view).

Very helpful , thank you so much! The screenshot above is so useful.
Shouldn't Excel say in the Initialization page (with the list of libraries) that pd.read_excel/pd.read_csv is disabled?
Excel goes through the trouble of pre-installing Pandas , and then disables the most important feature without saying anything?
CoPilot was not helpful either, it didn't say that read_excel is disabled.
