Select the Header Row When Importing an Excel file with Pandas

Python

We can tell Pandas which row to use for the headers when we import an excel spreadsheet by a row index to the "header" parameter.

In this example, the header we want to use is located in the third row.

 1|  import pandas as pd
 2|  
 3|  df = pd.read_excel('Returns.xlsx', sheet_name='Returns', header=2)
