exFile = r'C:\Python34\abc.xls'conn1 = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER={MicrosoftExcel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ='+exFile,autocommit=True)

curs1 = conn1.cursor()

    print(x[0])

Error:

pyodbc.Error: ('07002', '[07002] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1. (-3010) (SQLExecDirectW)')

Answer 1

Solution:

excel = curs1.execute('''select [problem_name] from [Sheet1$] where platform_name = 'win_b64' ;''').fetchall() 

-> query syntax should be start in triple quot...and end too.
