Importing sheets from Excel files

In the previous exercises, you saw that the Excel file contains two sheets, '2002' and '2004'. The next step is to import these.

In this exercise, you'll learn how to import any given sheet of your loaded .xlsx file as a DataFrame. You'll be able to do so by specifying either the sheet's name or its index.

The spreadsheet 'battledeath.xlsx' is already loaded as xls.
