Hi, Is it possible to read an **XLS** file from Celigo? Even though the file parse export has XLSX, the preview data is populating. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/celigo/original/2X/b/bbd6bb2ca9ee8a80908778513dc59eeb70f46bbd.png) It seems like XLS is supported, and once the actual flow runs, we encountered the error below. > Read failed for Admin new Jan 2024-May 2025.xls. Details: invalid signature: 0xe011cfd0 I need to read an XLS file from Celigo and push the data into a destination application. Thanks. ---

We don’t support XLS files at this time. Are you able to get the file in any other way (like CSV)? ---

Hi Tyler, We used an external service to convert the XLS file into a CSV. Then Celigo is able to read the converted CSV file and process data. Thanks for the reply.
