I have a multi column/row spreadsheet.

The first column level is = date1, date2, date3.
The second column level is sex: male, female.

Hence the total is equal to 6 columns

date1,  date2,   date3
M, F    M, F     M, F

now, the table has also has multi level rows. I have countries and and cities within each country.

How can I import this pre-made excel table into a pandas dataframe? Many thanks for your help!
