I am unable to read from .xls file using exceljs library. I also tried to read after changing my file in .xlsx using fs but still I am unable to read data from that file. Is there any way to read from .xls file using exceljs?

  • What error are you getting? – Aslam Oct 15 '19 at 10:04
  • `.xls` and `.xlsx` are two very different formats, and renaming the file will not magically convert it. All you get is an `xls` file with the wrong file ending. exceljs doesn't support `xls`, which is the older, proprietary format. `xlsx` is an open standard and just zipped xml, which is easy to support. –  Oct 15 '19 at 10:06
  • @Aslam I am not getting any error or data – Lokesh Jain Oct 15 '19 at 10:22

While its documentation does not say it explicitly, exceljs only supports either XLSX or CSV:
