How to read Excel File

Hello Syed

I don't believe you can read Excel (XLS) files without the use of a 3rd party library (possible plugin there!).

But if you can export a CSV file from Excel then you will be able to read it using JavaScript. This post on Stack Overflow should help:

Note: you can ignore the jQuery bit ($.ajax) as that is just used to read the file - you can use the app.ReadFile() method instead.

Thanks
