On your databricks cluster, install following 2 libraries:
Clusters -> select your cluster -> Libraries -> Install New -> Maven -> in Coordinates: com.crealytics:spark-excel_2.12:0.13.5
Clusters -> select your cluster -> Libraries -> Install New -> PyPI-> in Package: xlrd
Then, you will be able to read your excel as follows:
sparkDF = spark.read.format("com.crealytics.spark.excel")
.option("header", "true") \
.option("inferSchema", "true") \
.option("dataAddress", "'NameOfYourExcelSheet'!A1") \
.load(filePath)

You could use Pandas API which is now part of PySpark.
Here is the documentation: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/reference/pyspark.pandas/api/pyspark.pandas.read_excel.html
