Is there anyway to read data from a macro file using Sheet Js?

[indra-sen-morrisonsplc]

It's not an issue but just a requirement where I need to read data from a Macro file. The Sheet JS is working smoothly with normal xlsx format file but unable to read data from a macro file. Please help.

Reading worksheets from macro-enabled files (XLSM, XLSB, XLS) should "just work". If there is a specific file causing issues, please share it here or via email and we can take a closer look and reopen the issue.

Any condition missing in my if statement specifically meant to validate or look for a macro enabled file ? @SheetJSDev Please share. Currently using this condition to read a xls file which does not reads data from a macro enabled file.

    if (
      placeholderFile &&
      (placeholderFile.type === 'text/csv' ||
        placeholderFile.type === 'application/vnd.ms-excel' ||
        placeholderFile.type ===
          'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet')
    ) {
      console.log(placeholderFile)
      import('xlsx').then((xlsx) => {
        const reader = new FileReader()
        reader.onload = (event: any) => {
          const wb = xlsx.read(event.target.result, { type: 'array' })
          const wsname = wb.SheetNames[0]
          const ws = wb.Sheets[wsname]
          const data = xlsx.utils.sheet_to_json(ws)
          console.log(data)
          const data1 = xlsx.utils.sheet_to_json(ws, { header: 1 })
          const cols: any = data1[0]

          const json = JSON.parse(
            JSON.stringify(data).replace(/"\s+|\s+"/g, '"')
          )
            return result
          }

You can always just print out the type just before the if statement :) console.log(placeholderFile.type)

application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 is the official MIME type for XLSM.
