yeah, the file is ok. But little change in saving from request’s file stream. Look out when fs.createWriteStream deal with xlsx file Other people see this, please read https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx#streaming-read

workbook.xlsx.readFile … will try to load xlsx file

that is a compressed excel file so it will fail with this message :

_stack:'Error: Can't find end of central directory_

only try to use it on compressed excel file

if you want to load a csv file you need to use : _workbook.csv.readFile_ if you want a regular excel (uncompressed) then : _workbook.excel.readFile_
