'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc0 in position 1












0















I have got number of queries from the list, and I am executing them and saving them on excel file. Now each result will be store on each sheet of the excel file.
I am trying to run the queries in SQL Server, I was running the same code on Oracle and it was working, but its not working on SQL Server.



getting_list = self.create_list(connection_number)
query_sheet = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd()+'/Docs/query_results.xlsx')
# writer = pd.ExcelWriter(query_sheet)
for q in self.queries:
df = pd.read_sql_query(q, self.conn)
writer = pd.ExcelWriter(query_sheet, engine='xlsxwriter')
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name=sheet_name=str(self.queries.index(q) + 1))
writer.save()


On running I am having this exception



UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc0 in position 1: invalid start byte


and this exception is appearing on following line.



df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name=sheet_name=str(self.queries.index(q) + 1))


Please Tell me where I am making mistake.

  • try to add encoding in the argument of your function : I would suggest encoding='iso8859-1' for example.. What language is used in your data?

  • xlsx is a zip package containing XML files. It doesn't have encodings. Supposing query_results.xlsx is a real xlsx file and not eg a csv or html file with a fake extension, what does the dataframe contain?

  • @taimoorpasha obviously. What data does it contain? Text, numbers? If text, is it Unicode or encoded? Does it come from a non-Unicode database field? If so, the code will choke when it finds the first non-ANSI byte.
