You should be able to read data from the source .xlsx file by connecting the Excel Parser snap to the File Reader Snap.
If you are unable to do this, please post a screenshot of the error message that you see.
Data format in one of the sheet - “Yearly”
I am trying to read data from row #13(actual data with header) by setting sheet index =2 and sheet name - Yearly(I am aware sheet index is overwritten when sheet name is specified), tried either ways I am getting below error

I’ve created a sample pipeline that successfully reads a small dataset. Formatting of the source file is inline with your setup. Can you review the xlsx file and pipeline (attached) and let me know if that matches with what you have?

The pipeline works fine to read xlsx file. But if you look at the file type I am mentioning it is xlsb(Microsoft Excel Binary Worksheet) so Excel Parser is throwing error as it is getting binary document.

The Snap is only compatible with xlsx or xls which represents data as XML internally. However, the Snap appears to be incompatible with parsing a file that is in xlsb format. Can you please reach out to our Support channel (support@snaplogic.com) to track this as an enhancement request for the Excel Parser Snap?
