Pandas: Always selecting the first sheet/tab in an Excel Sheet

The first sheet is automatically selected when the Excel table is read into a dataframe.

To be explicit however, the command is :

import pandas as pd
fd = 'file path'
data = pd.read_excel( fd, sheet_name=0 )

Use of 'sheetname' is deprecated. Please use sheet_name

Also this bug at the time of writing: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/17107

Use 'sheetname', not 'sheet_name'.
