BUG: ImportError: Missing optional dependency 'openpyxl'. Use pip or conda to install openpyxl.

I am running the following code from Jupyter notebook.

dataDir =  r'D:\\'
files = glob(os.path.join(dataDir, '*.xlsx'))
print(files)
if os.path.isfile(files[0]):
    print('ok')
df = pd.read_excel(files[0], engine='openpyxl')

which prints: ['D:\\\\file_index_all.xlsx', 'D:\\\\file_index_all2.xlsx'] ok

But I get the following error.

ImportError: Missing optional dependency 'openpyxl'.  Use pip or conda to install openpyxl.

pandas version: pd.__version__
1.0.1 Also one other thing I noticed despite having openpyxl 3.0.7 I can’t import it in jupyter notebook but in pycharm

import openpyxl
print(openpyxl.__version__)

shows 3.0.7

Looks like you are using different environments

[phofl]

Yeah but you haven‘t installed openpyxl in the env, so nothing we can do about from our side
