We used DataFrame of 35 rows by reading from a Excel file, you can download and check our student.xlsx file here.
Read more on how to read excel file here

import pandas as pd 
my_data = pd.read_excel('D:\student.xlsx')
print(my_data)

Output

    id         name  class  mark     sex

You can display all 35 rows , Now let us try our sample scripts.

Reading value at cell data by using at

We can read the value at cell by using row and column by using at()

import pandas as pd 
my_data = pd.read_excel('D:\student.xlsx')
print(my_data.at[1,'name']) # row 1, column='name'

Output

Max Ruin

We will set ( update ) the name at 2^nd row. We will use at to first read the data at perticular location.

import pandas as pd 
my_data = pd.read_excel('D:\student.xlsx')
# getting the name 
print(my_data.loc[2].at['name']) # Arnold
print(my_data.at[2,'name']) # Arnold

Above code will display the name at row 2. Now let us update the name with Arnold2 and again read the data.

import pandas as pd 
my_data = pd.read_excel('D:\student.xlsx')
# updatting data 
my_data.at[2,'name']='Arnold2'
print(my_data.at[2,'name']) # Arnold2

Output

Arnold2
