title: Comma as decimal separator in read_excel for Pandas
body: <p>I have a excel file with 119 sheets that I would like to get the data to plot multiple graphs. The problem is that the numeric values have comma as a decimal separator. And I have read that, differently from read_csv, the read_excel function in Pandas does not have this option.</p>
  <p>I intend to load specific columns from some of selected sheets and build a merged graph using a for loop.</p>
  <p>One of the alternatives that I saw (but it is kind of an overkill) is to transform each of the sheets into a specific csv file and load them and use the option of comma as decimal separator). Is there any alternative that I can load the data correctly without having to recourse to this alternative?</p>
  <p>Thanks!</p>
