# pandas-xlsx-tables

Even though you might not like it, Excel isn't going anywhere. And Excel with tables is a lot beter than without: Reference columns by name, warnings when datatypes betwee rows change, no more freeze panes, custom filters or issues when you sort one column but not the other.
Even though you might not like it, Excel isn't going anywhere. And Excel with tables is [a lot better than without](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=advantages+of+excel+tables).

Out of the box Pandas does not support reading and writing excel tables, and as the API of pandas is already pretty complex. So instead of adding a feature inside Pandas this separte package provides the required utility functions to read and write between Excel Tables and Pandas DataFrames.
Strangely Pandas does not support reading from and writing to excel tables out of the box, and due to the complexity of Pandas this is [not easily added](https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/24862) (though having this built into Pandas would be the prefered solution). This separate package provides is thus a separate companion to Pandas with utility functions to read and write Excel Tables from/to Pandas DataFrames.
