It seems that the option “Include Empty Cells” doesnt work for XLSX files and seems to crash n8n, Option works fine for ODS files

Hey @Damian_K!

Were you able to resolve the issue? If not, can you share the workflow you’re trying to execute :slight_smile:

Real simple,
Read Binary File → Read Spreadsheet file

The workflow below works for me. Perhaps, cuz the XLSX does not have an empty cell? :thinking:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "parameters": {
        "url": "https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2017/02/file_example_XLSX_100.xlsx",
        "responseFormat": "file",
        "options": {}
      },
      "name": "HTTP Request",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [
        600,
        290
      ]
    },
    {
      "parameters": {
        "options": {
          "includeEmptyCells": true
        }
      },
      "name": "Spreadsheet File",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.spreadsheetFile",
      "typeVersion": 1,
      "position": [
        850,
        290
      ]
    }
  ],
  "connections": {
    "HTTP Request": {
      "main": [
        [
          {
            "node": "Spreadsheet File",
            "type": "main",
            "index": 0
          }
        ]
      ]
    }
  }
}
