ExcelDataset

ExcelDataset loads and saves data to/from Excel files using pandas.

kedro_datasets.pandas.ExcelDataset

ExcelDataset(
    *,
    filepath,
    engine="openpyxl",
    load_args=None,
    save_args=None,
    version=None,
    credentials=None,
    fs_args=None,
    metadata=None
)

Bases: AbstractVersionedDataset[DataFrame | dict[str, DataFrame], DataFrame | dict[str, DataFrame]]

ExcelDataset loads/saves data from/to a Excel file using an underlying filesystem (e.g.: local, S3, GCS). It uses pandas to handle the Excel file.

To save a multi-sheet Excel file, no special save_args are required. Instead, return a dictionary of Dict[str, pd.DataFrame] where the string keys are your sheet names.

Examples:

Using the YAML API:

rockets:
  type: pandas.ExcelDataset
  filepath: gcs://your_bucket/rockets.xlsx
  fs_args:
    project: my-project
  credentials: my_gcp_credentials
  save_args:
    sheet_name: Sheet1
  load_args:
    sheet_name: Sheet1

shuttles:
  type: pandas.ExcelDataset
  filepath: data/01_raw/shuttles.xlsx

Using the Python API:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> from kedro_datasets.pandas import ExcelDataset
>>>
>>> data = pd.DataFrame({"col1": [1, 2], "col2": [4, 5], "col3": [5, 6]})
>>>
>>> dataset = ExcelDataset(filepath=tmp_path / "test.xlsx")
>>> dataset.save(data)
>>> reloaded = dataset.load()
>>> assert data.equals(reloaded)

For a multi-sheet Excel file, using the YAML API:

trains:
  type: pandas.ExcelDataset
  filepath: data/02_intermediate/company/trains.xlsx
  load_args:
    sheet_name: [Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3]

For a multi-sheet Excel file, using the Python API:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> from kedro_datasets.pandas import ExcelDataset
>>>
>>> dataframe = pd.DataFrame({"col1": [1, 2], "col2": [4, 5], "col3": [5, 6]})
>>> another_dataframe = pd.DataFrame({"x": [10, 20], "y": ["hello", "world"]})
>>> multiframe = {"Sheet1": dataframe, "Sheet2": another_dataframe}
>>>
>>> dataset = ExcelDataset(filepath="test.xlsx", load_args={"sheet_name": None})
>>> dataset.save(multiframe)
>>> reloaded = dataset.load()
>>> assert multiframe["Sheet1"].equals(reloaded["Sheet1"])
>>> assert multiframe["Sheet2"].equals(reloaded["Sheet2"])

Parameters:

  • filepath (str | PathLike) –

    Filepath in POSIX format to a Excel file prefixed with a protocol like s3://. If prefix is not provided, file protocol (local filesystem) will be used. The prefix should be any protocol supported by fsspec. Note: http(s) doesn't support versioning. Can be a string or a PathLike object.

  • engine (str, default: 'openpyxl' ) –

    The engine used to write to Excel files. The default engine is 'openpyxl'.

  • load_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Pandas options for loading Excel files. Here you can find all available arguments: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.read_excel.html All defaults are preserved, but "engine", which is set to "openpyxl". Supports multi-sheet Excel files (include sheet_name = None in load_args).

  • save_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Pandas options for saving Excel files. Here you can find all available arguments: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.to_excel.html All defaults are preserved, but "index", which is set to False. If you would like to specify options for the ExcelWriter, you can include them under the "writer" key. Here you can find all available arguments: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.ExcelWriter.html

  • version (Version | None, default: None ) –

    If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

  • credentials (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Credentials required to get access to the underlying filesystem. E.g. for GCSFileSystem it should look like {"token": None}.

  • fs_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Extra arguments to pass into underlying filesystem class constructor (e.g. {"project": "my-project"} for GCSFileSystem). Defaults are preserved, apart from the open_args_save mode which is set to wb. Note that the save method requires bytes, so any save mode provided should include "b" for bytes.

  • metadata (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.

Raises:

  • DatasetError

    If versioning is enabled while in append mode.
