title: Python Pandas read_excel without converting int to float
body: <p>im reading an Excel file:</p>
  <pre><code>df = pd.read_excel(r'C:\test.xlsx', 'Sheet0', skiprows = 1)
  </code></pre>
  <p>The Excel file contains a column formatted General and a value like &quot;405788&quot;, after reading this with pandas the output looks like &quot;405788.0&quot; so its converted as float. I need any value as String without changing the values, can someone help me out with this?</p>
  <p>[Edit]</p>
  <p>If i copy the values in a new Excel file and load this, the integers does not get converted to float. But i need to get the Values correct of the original file, so is there anything i can do?</p>
  <p>Options dtype and converted changes the type as i need in str but as a floating number with .0</p>
