Open an Excel file

[Friend]

As i said in my home computer i don't have microsoft office.
i use libre office. i have renamed the extention to xlsx as intructed in the book i am ready. So maybe that's why openpyxl doesn't work.
in my office computer it works just fine.

trying your proposal

df = pd.read_excel(r'C:\Users\Desktop\Python\example.xlsx')

i get the following error:

Error:
