无法使用 read_excel 从 pandas 中的 xlsx 文件中读取日期列？

Question

我在 Excel 中有格式为日期的单元格（见下文）：

我无法读取它们（它们是 NaN），因此当从 Pandas read_excel 方法读取时，我使用转换器尝试转换它们 to_datetime：

   cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(
                      i, 
                     ('sheet'+str(j)), 
                     headers = 1, skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, 
                     usecols = 'A:J', 
                     converters = {
                       'Expired': lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce') , 
                   'Valid Until': lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce')})

这导致它们都被加载为NaT。

所以，在查阅了文档后，我尝试了这种方式：

    cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(i, ('sheet'+str(j)), headers = 1, parse_dates=True, skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J' )

这又导致了NaN。

最后我这样尝试了，又得到了NaN：

    cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(i, ('sheet'+str(j)), headers = 1, parse_dates=True, date_parser=lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce'), skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J' )

上述方法不起作用，因为它尝试根据索引进行解析（请参阅下面的评论）。

cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(i, ('sheet'+str(j)), headers = 1, parse_dates=['Expired', 'Valid Until'], skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J' )

cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(i, ('sheet'+str(j)), headers = 1, parse_dates=['Expired', 'Valid Until'], skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J' )

cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(i, ('sheet'+str(j)), headers = 1, parse_dates=['Expired', 'Valid Until'], dateparser=lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce'), skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J' )

这两个结果都导致NaT（不是时间？）

我还需要做什么才能读取日期？我意识到没有附加时间，但是Excel stores dates and times 的方式并不重要，因为时间存储为小数。

for i in glob.iglob(((str(xls_folder) + '\somesheets*.xlsx'))):
    cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(i, ('sheet'+str(j)), headers = 1, skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J', converters = {'Expired': lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce') , 'Valid Until': lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce')})

for w in cols_A8_J2007:
    print(cols_A8_J2007[w].dtypes)

Type                      object
Currency                  object
Initial Credit           float64
Credits                  float64
Debits                   float64
Balance                  float64
Reserved                   int64
Valid Until       datetime64[ns] <-  <- These I believe are what you are looking for..
Expired           datetime64[ns] <- These I believe are what you are looking for..
dtype: object

确定问题是我需要使用pd.isnull 检查值是否为空。该文件的空值太多，我无法在结果集中看到它们。在这里找到答案：how to test if a variable is pd.NaT?

me_df = pd.read_excel(i, ('iCareAcctListing'+str(j)), headers = 1, skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J', converters = {'Expired': lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce') , 'Valid Until': lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, errors='coerce')})

# Ran this and ended up with just the dates that were 
# filled in with actual values.
#
# There were so many nulls before and after that I couldn't see any of them in the dataset!
me_df[pd.isnull(me_df['Valid Until']) != True]
