Hi @Raja_Asad it sounds like this is a completely different issue from this original post. Please create a new post under questions

I’m encountering the same issue, but I can’t find the “Read Excel Workbook” node in the latest version of n8n, so I’m unable to copy the content of this node. How can this be resolved?

Hi @gkiqkyp, The node which is not showing is just a shell command with the following content:

unzip -p {{ $json.filename }} xl/workbook.xml
