title: pandas OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument in read_excel
body: <p>I try to read a excel file using pandas with the code below:</p>
  <p><code>path = &quot;QVI_transaction_data.xlsx&quot; </code></p>
  <p>I also tried using &quot;./QVI_transaction_data.xlsx&quot; rather than the one above, the name is just copy pasted from os.listdir() so there is no transcription problems</p>
  <p><code>pd.read_excel(path, sheet_name = &quot;in&quot;) </code></p>
  <p>but it didn't worked, it outputs this error:</p>
  <pre><code>OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
  </code></pre>
  <p>I also tried without the sheet_name argument, others posts say that there is a problem with the filename but I had worked with pandas before and I don't think there is something wrong with the name. anyone knows what is wrong about this?</p>
  <p>this is how the file looks like:</p>
