title: Is there a chunksize argument for read_excel in pandas?
body: <p>I'm trying to create a progress bar for reading excel data into pandas using tqdm. I can do this easily with a csv using the chunksize argument like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>data_reader = pd.read_csv(path,
                            chunksize = 1000)
  
  for row in tqdm(data_reader,
                  total = 200):
      df_list = []
      df_list.append(row)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which updates the progress bar for every chunk of 1000 out of 200 total chunks. <code>pd.read_excel</code>, however, no longer has a <code>chunksize</code> argument. Is there an alternative?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I've read the question re: reading an excel file in chunks (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38623368/reading-a-portion-of-a-large-xlsx-file-with-python">Reading a portion of a large xlsx file with python</a>), however, read_excel does <em>not</em> have a chunksize argument anymore and <code>pd.ExcelFile.parse</code> is equivalent. I am wondering if there is an alternative to the <code>chunksize</code> argument or another way to create an iterable to loop over chunks while they are being read in.</p>
