Syntax error. Should be:

sheet_name = 'xxx'

install xlrd from command prompt using below:

  1. conda install xlrd
  2. pip install xlrd

It is referred to as Sheetname

It seems that this "sheet_name" could be language dependent. The argument is also positional, so you can just drop "sheet_name" and write:

y=pandas.read_excel("as.xlsx",0)

I have tried version Pandas 1.0.5 and xlrd 1.2.0

You have a syntax error

Try

y=pandas.read_excel("as.xlsx",sheet_name=0)
