title: Describe function in Python Pandas module
body: <p>I am trying to create the summary statistics for the stock 
  returns of Apple and Alphabet. I already have the excel file with all the information and the (small) code bellow:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  Data = pd.read_excel('Exercise1_DataPython.xlsx')
  example_series = Data.describe()
  print (example_series)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I run this it returns "count, unique, top and freq" instead of "mean, min, max, etc". Can someone explain me how to solve this problem? And how can I get the mean, min, max, etc only for one specific column?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
