Simple xls are supporting but complex like along with spreadsheets are not supported. Giving me this error Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'nodeType' of undefined at Function.push../node_modules/xpath/xpath.js.PathExpr.getRoot (xpath.js:1448) at

This module doesn't support XLS files. The module name might be misleading but that's how it was originally called.

Thanks for the response. Then how to handle error? Like I want to show error if there is any error or file format is wrong.

I guess the only way is checking file extension when a user selects the file in their browser (or check file path in Node.js).
