@aabhinavg Have you created a PR for this bug? If so, could you link your PR to this issue by following the contribution guidelines?

I believe that I've found @aabhinavg's PR for this issue. It looks like it's closed because the PR went stale. Taking this issue unless @aabhinavg states that they are still interested in working on it.

looks like similar issue as #45903 (but that may be looking at None -> Boolean whereas this is True -> boolean). If so, the PR #46374 was closed due to going stale, which I feel was close. @rmhowe425

The main issue seems to be that pd.BooleanArray._from_sequence_of_strings is getting called with values that are not strings.

Also @yuanx749's comment #45903 (comment) of using dtype_backed='numpy_nullable' is a workaround, but it seems to only after the dtype evaluation if defined in the read_excel call.
