subsetting columns when reading an Excel file

Open spedygiorgio opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

May be possible to select in advance the useful columns, like the use_cols parameter in the Python pandas pd.read_excel method?

Can you provide more detail on what use_cols does?

It specifies which columns should be taken ( read and exposed)

readxl already has many ways to specify which column you want to read. So how is this different?
