My code snippet looks like this: Notebook code

When i tried to open the xlsx file directly from notebook i got this error: opening xlsx file

PLease help me solve this issue.


Solution

  • Your title says pd.read_excel, but your code says pd.read_csv. CSV files are plain text files, readable with Notepad. XLSX files are binary, and are not human-readable. If you have an XLSX file, then use pd.read_excel, like your title says.
