Day – 20 Learnings

➢Read , Write Excel and CSV Files


Pandas makes it straightforward to read and write Excel and CSV files, which are common formats for
data storage and exchange.

Here’s a quick overview of how to handle these file types in Pandas.

1. Reading CSV Files


To read a CSV file into a DataFrame, use the pd.read_csv() function.

import pandas as pd

# Reading a CSV file


df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
print(df)

Parameters:

➢ filepath: Path to the CSV file.


➢ sep: Specifies the delimiter (default is ,).
➢ header: Row to use as the header (default is the first row).
➢ usecols: Columns to read.
➢ nrows: Number of rows to read.
2. Writing CSV Files

To write a DataFrame to a CSV file, use df.to_csv().

# Writing to a CSV file


df.to_csv('output.csv', index=False)

Parameters:

➢ index=False: Prevents writing row indices in the CSV.


➢ sep: Specifies the delimiter (default is ,).
➢ header: Includes the column names if set to True.
3. Reading Excel Files

To read an Excel file, use pd.read_excel(). You’ll need openpyxl or xlrd library installed,
depending on the Excel version.

# Reading an Excel file


df = pd.read_excel('data.xlsx', sheet_name='Sheet1’)
print(df)

Parameters:

➢ sheet_name: Specifies the sheet name or index to read.


➢ usecols, nrows, and header are similar to those in read_csv().
4. Writing Excel Files

To write a DataFrame to an Excel file, use df.to_excel().

# Writing to an Excel file


df.to_excel('output.xlsx', sheet_name='Sheet1', index=False)

Parameters:

➢ sheet_name: Specifies the sheet name.


➢ index=False: Prevents writing row indices in the Excel file.
Example

import pandas as pd

# Read CSV
df_csv = pd.read_csv('data.csv')

# Perform some data manipulation


df_csv['New_Column'] = df_csv['Existing_Column'] * 2

# Save to new CSV


df_csv.to_csv('modified_data.csv', index=False)

# Read Excel
df_excel = pd.read_excel('data.xlsx', sheet_name='Sheet1')

# Save to new Excel file


df_excel.to_excel('output.xlsx', sheet_name='Results', index=False)
Summary

➢ CSV Files: Use pd.read_csv() to read and df.to_csv() to write.


➢ Excel Files: Use pd.read_excel() to read and df.to_excel() to write.
