Extract file xlsx

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,

For the pdf module it works perfectly

Hi @samtol

Are you sure that the .xlsx file contains some data or is empty?

Hi @mohamed3nan,
I checked twice and there is One record for my test.
but after your message i tried with another xlsx with a lot of records and it works.
With one row i have to put the option Include Empty Cells ON
I have to understand that.
Thanks a lot
