Skipping range of rows after header through pandas.read_excel

Question

I know the argument usecols in pandas.read_excel() allows you to select specific columns.

Say I read an Excel file in with pandas.read_ex

Answer 1

As per the documentation for pandas.read_excel, skiprows must be list-like.

Try this instead to exclude rows 1 to 336 inclusive:

df = pd.read_excel("file.xlsx",
                   sheet_name = "Sheet1",
                   skiprows = range(1, 337),
                   usecols = "H:BD")

Note: range constructor is considered list-like for this purpose, so no explicit list conversion is necessary.
