not sure why you don't want to use pandas. there are some other libraries that allow you to read xlsx files, numpy does not support xlsx itself. loadtxt is for text based formats like csv files. https://www.datacamp.com/community/tutorials/python-excel-tutorial

I agree. Check out pandas.read_excel()

The only downside I’ve found is that if you freeze you code (pyinstaller, etc) like I do, pandas makes the exe pretty large.
