title: How to prompt user to insert an excel file then create the dataframe in pandas for further analysis
body: <p>Good day! I would like to know how to prompt user to insert an excel file (from any location - either in window desktop or folder) then create the dataframe in pandas for further analysis. Not really find the solution here with the complete steps. Below is what I been try, but just seem not really link together the flow:</p>
  
  <p>First step:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>def load_data():
  
    print ("Please insert your data!")
  
    filename = input(prompt) ## Not really sure here how to link to the ('???.xlsx') ##
  
    load_data()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Second step:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd
  
  df = pd.read_excel('???.xlsx')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For your information too, the final .ipynb will save as .py and use Pyinstaller to create a simple window program. Thank you for your help!</p>
