Pandas read excel hyperlink

Pandas Read Excel Hyperlink

Pandas, a popular data manipulation library in Python, provides a convenient way to read Excel files that contain hyperlinks. The pandas library makes use of the openpyxl library to handle Excel files, including reading hyperlinks.

To read an Excel file with hyperlinks using pandas, you need to have both pandas and openpyxl installed:

    pip install pandas openpyxl
  

Here’s an example of how to use pandas to read an Excel file with hyperlinks:

    import pandas as pd
    
    # Specify the path to the Excel file
    excel_file = "path/to/your/excel/file.xlsx"
    
    # Read the Excel file
    dataframe = pd.read_excel(excel_file, engine='openpyxl')
    
    # Access the hyperlink values in a specific column
    hyperlinks = dataframe['Column Name'].tolist()
    
    # Print the hyperlinks
    for hyperlink in hyperlinks:
        print(hyperlink)
  

In the above example:

1. We import the pandas library.
2. We specify the path to the Excel file that contains hyperlinks.
3. We use the pd.read_excel() function to read the Excel file, specifying the engine as ‘openpyxl’ to enable reading hyperlinks.
4. We access the values in a specific column that contains hyperlinks using the column name.
5. We convert the hyperlink values into a list using the tolist() function.
6. We print each hyperlink value.

By following these steps, you can read an Excel file with hyperlinks using pandas and access the hyperlink values for further processing in your Python code.
