title: How do I pass errors='coerce' to pd.to_datetime from pd.read_excel in Pandas?
body: <p>I'm having an issue converting some date fields when using <code>pd.read_excel</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>cols_A8_J2007[i] = pd.read_excel(i, ('sheet'+str(j)), headers = 1, skiprows = 6, nrows=2000, usecols = 'A:J', converters = {'Expired': pd.to_datetime, 'Valid Until': pd.to_datetime})
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'd like to be able to pass <code>errors='coerce'</code> when the function is called, but I'm not sure how to do that as I only pass the function; so there must be some other argument to read_excel I have to pass in order to pass that when <code>pd.to_datetime</code> is called.</p>
