Given a Pandas DataFrame, we have to read specific sheet content when there are multiple sheets in an excel file.

Pandas is a special tool that allows us to perform complex manipulations of data effectively and efficiently. Inside pandas, we mostly deal with a dataset in the form of DataFrame. DataFrames are 2-dimensional data structures in pandas. DataFrames consist of rows, columns, and the data.
Pandas DataFrames can be created with the help of dictionaries or arrays but in real-world analysis, first, a csv file or an xlsx file is imported and then the content of csv or excel file is converted into a DataFrame.

An xlsx file is a spreadsheet file that can be created with certain software, especially with the popularly known MS Excel. To import an Excel file, we use the following piece of code:

pd.ExcelFile('Path_of_the_file')

An excel file may contain multiple sheets which may contain important data to analyze. Here, we are going to learn how to read a specific sheet from an excel file?

To work with pandas, we need to import pandas package first, below is the syntax:

import pandas as pd

Let us understand with the help of an example,

# Importing pandas package
import pandas as pd

# Importing Excel file
file = pd.ExcelFile('D:/Book1.xlsx')

# Display the content of a particular sheet
print(file.parse('A'))

Output:

We can also read other sheets; suppose we have sheet file named 'B'. The reading of file 'B' is explained with the following piece of code:

# Display the content of another sheet named "B"
print(file.parse('B'))

Output:
