title: Make Excel Cell value Variable in Python Using Pandas
body: <p>I have looked for a while on this one but can't seem to find out how to pick a specific cell value in an excel worksheet and assign it to variable in python. I get a Traceback Error with the code below.</p>
  <p>I have a number of work rules I want to assign as variables in python that are stored in an cells within an excel workhseet.</p>
  <p>(work rules[4][2] is how I am trying to make the cell value into a variable.</p>
  <p>Code:</p>
  <pre><code>work_rules = pd.read_excel(
      'D:\\Personal Files\\Technical Development\\PycharmProjects\\Call Center Headcount Model\\Call Center Work Rules.xlsx',
      sheet_name='Inputs')
  
  historical_start_date = work_rules[4][2]
  
  print(historical_start_date)
  </code></pre>
