Hi,
I’m having an issue with the Extract from File module in n8n.
It works perfectly with PDF attachments, but when I try the same setup with an XLSX file, it returns “No output data returned”, even though the binary field is correctly detected and visible.
Could you please help me understand why XLSX extraction isn’t working?
(Attached are screenshots showing the binary input and the module settings.)
Thanks a lot!
Best,
