To read Excel spreadsheets in Python, you can use the pandas library, which provides easy-to-use functions for working with tabular data. Here are the basic steps:

1. Install pandas library : You can install pandas using pip or conda.

pip install pandas


2. Import pandas and read the Excel file : Use the read_excel function to read the Excel file into a pandas DataFrame.

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel('my_excel_file.xlsx')


3. Explore the data : Once the data is loaded into a DataFrame, you can explore and manipulate it using various pandas functions. For example, you can view the first few rows of the data using the head function:

print(df.head())


This will print the first five rows of the DataFrame.

4. Extract specific data : You can also extract specific data from the DataFrame using indexing and filtering. For example, to extract a specific column, you can use the column name:


column_data = df['Column Name']

To filter the data based on a condition, you can use boolean indexing:


filtered_data = df[df['Column Name'] > 10]
