Read XLS File

Click to copy

Iterates over each row in an XLSX file. Use the "Each row" flow output to process each row, and the "Completed" flow output when the iteration has finished.


Iterates through all the lines (iterates over the lines) of the XLSX file. Uses the output of the Each row stream to process each row and the output of the Completed stream after the iteration is complete. 
Works in the same way as the Read CSV file block.

Tip: combine this block with a For Each block to iterate over each column in a row, and then use a Switch block to process columns values based on the column number or column name (see video above for more).
