I have this error and cannot find how to fix it. My advisor told me that I need to install the xlrd package of Python but that is already installed. Using Conda didn’t work… Look like Julia cannot read the necessary packages. What can I do?
PS. I’m really sorry for my carelessness to post screenshots before.

Please don’t post screenshots, which make it nearly impossible to read the error messages, are not searchable, and cannot be copy-pasted into running code. Post quoted code showing exactly what you did and a quoted block showing the error message. See [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757)

You need to [use quotes](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-how-to-quote-code-with-backticks/7530), post the code you tried to run, and post the _full_ error message and backtrace, not just a a portion of it.
And don’t start multiple discussion threads. Just post replies to the same thread.
