Microsoft Excel Reader Module

As Excel remains a widely used format for sharing structured business data, many edge and cloud use cases require reading and processing Excel files directly in Crosser flows. The Excel Reader module now allows you to handle Excel files natively, simplifying automation and reducing the need for external conversion steps.

The Excel Reader module enables direct ingestion of .xlsx and .xls files, converting worksheet rows into structured messages with preserved data types. The module supports dynamic file paths using template syntax, worksheet selection by name or index, optional header row handling, and row limiting for large files. This makes it easy to integrate Excel-based data into automated flows and process it reliably in downstream modules.

Detailed documentation, with examples, available in the module documentation.
