Is there a way to read only a particular sheet from a excel file available on Box using Python and Boxsdk.

Current file size is 3 MB but our requirement is to only read one sheet from the file.

Kindly suggest if there is any way to do it using Python Boxsdk

Hi,

This is not a current feature Box allows via our API. We don't actually look at the data within content. I would recommend downloading the file to a local place and using a python library to open just a sheet within the excel file. 

Thanks,
