Read Messy & Poorly Structured Excel Files Using Pandas (Python)

In the real world, Excel files are not always so neat & clean as the ones you will find in many tutorials. I will walk you through how to read messy and poorly structured Excel Files using pandas.

In particular, I will cover the following options in the pandas read_excel() function:
pandas.read_excel(
io,
sheet_name=0,
header=0,
usecols=None,
true_values=None,
skipfooter=0
converters=None,
dtype=None,
)

You can find the Jupyter Notebook from the tutorial here [Google Drive]:

Excelython — Part 4: Read Excel Files in Python

Project Description

You are working on a purchasing team and you want to check your sales and inventory, the pending orders you might have, where you need to place new orders and what are the products that need your attention as they are slow movers.

After you have done all the downloading, the processing and evaluation, you need to send to another colleague a file by email, that has all the products, split by supplier and volume to be ordered per different sheet and you need a separate excel file with the products that you have stock greater than 4 weeks, ordered by the top 20 cost value, in order to create a plan of push their sales or return them back to supplier.

Python for Beginners #2 — Importing files to python with pandas

Use pandas to upload CSV, TXT and Excel files

Story time before we begin

Learning Python isn’t the easiest thing to do. But consistency is really the key to arriving at a level that boosts your career.

We hear a lot about millennials wanting things to easy. In reality, there are a lot of young professionals who believe that they can do more for their companies but are being held back by the work cultures they are faced with at the onset of their careers.

Having been lucky enough to have found a job after my studies, I remember immediately feeling a wave of disappointment a very short while after starting my new job. I felt like a cog in a massive machine. I wasn’t really anything other than a ‘resource’. An extra 8–15 hours of daily man power depending on my boss’ whim.

The result, was the eventual disenchantment and lack of motivation simply because, for the most part, I was expected to be quiet and do my job in the hope of one day being senior enough to effect significant changes. And while the older generation would generally tell me to suck it up, I couldn’t see myself sucking it up for 5 years or more. I knew I’d get stale and afraid of change, much like those telling me to stay in my place.

For anyone in a similar situation,**_ do your best to improve on your skills _**and find an environment that works for you. That’s the whole purpose of these articles. To get you on your way to freedom.

Introduction

For this demonstration, I’ll use data from this Kaggle competition. It’s a simple CSV file containing data on individuals in the Titanic and the different profiles i.e. (age, marital status etc.)

I want to import this file to python. I’ll show you how to do this alongside all the possible troubleshoots you may encounter.
