Error when using read_excel method of pandas

Question

I have used my code from time to time without any issues; however, I have just got trouble with pd.read_excel(path), where the path is a string that is the full path pointing to a .xlsx file. I can make sure that the syntax is valid and also that is the same code I used for my project.

When I run the code, the following is shown:

Thank you very much for help.
