Good afternoon,

I am trying to read an xlsx file in python via pandas, but it returns errors; as if the file did not exist (however it is in the same folder as the python script). I tried to pass the file path and it still didn’t work. Follow the code below. I am using jupyter lab, previously tried vscode but returned the same error...

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

simulacao_projeto = pd.read_xlsx('simul.xlsx')

Following error that returns is:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-1e337f1a57f3> in <module>
----> 1 simulacao_projeto = pd.read_xlsx('simul.xlsx')

AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'read_xlsx'
python pandas

  • Are you sure you are running the code you have placed? By the error message it appears you have executed simulacao_projeto = pd._xlsx.

  • I am running simulaca_project = pd.read_xlsx('')

  • 2

    Ah, the error message was wrong. Have you checked the documentation to make sure that this method exists? Shouldn’t it be read_excel? At least in the version 0.25.2 documentation there is no method read_xlsx

  • I’ve tried to read_excel but returns an even bigger error. The file I want to read is Simul.xlsx, I already put it inside the same folder, I tried to pass the directory it is, but continues to return the same error...

  • The spreadsheet has nothing different, only four columns containing data from some sensors of a project I developed...

  • I managed to solve the problem. Initially to read a file, you need to insert the directory where it is (as it was all in the same folder, I did not need to put). In the case of simulacao_projeto = pd.read_xlsx('simul.xlsx') we can notice in this line of code, that I had to insert the r before simul.xlsx (indicating that it was a directory) and changing the pd.read.xlsx for pd.read_excel staying now simul = pd.read_excel(r"simul.xlsx"). With that, my code stopped displaying errors and ran as expected!

  • the r then it is unnecessary and does not indicate that it is a directory. It is a string prefix that exists in Python to inform that it is a raw string, or raw string, which will not escape the characters in the presence of the backslash. The problem was only to call the function, as we had already indicated.

  • The feature was called numerous times in various ways, watched several videos on youtube and researched in various locations and nothing worked. Yesterday I tried again for a video on youtube that just put this r before inserting the name of the file that the same longed to read and amazing that it seems worked. Follow the video of the comrade link.

The function to be used is "read_excel", because "read_xlsx" does not exist in pandas:

  • I understand, I know that it does not 'exist'. But there was only the need to insert the r on the path I mentioned above. Hugs!
