I am able to read Excel file via FileReader but it outputs text as well as weird characters with it. I need to read xls file row-wise, read data in every column and convert it to JSON.
How to read xls file row by row?
Below Function converts the Excel sheet (XLSX format) data to JSON. you can add promise to the function.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/xlsx/0.8.0/jszip.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/xlsx/0.8.0/xlsx.js"></script>
<script>
var ExcelToJSON = function() {
this.parseExcel = function(file) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var data = e.target.result;
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {
type: 'binary'
});
workbook.SheetNames.forEach(function(sheetName) {
// Here is your object
var XL_row_object = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_row_object_array(workbook.Sheets[sheetName]);
var json_object = JSON.stringify(XL_row_object);
console.log(json_object);
})
};
reader.onerror = function(ex) {
console.log(ex);
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
};
};
</script>
Below post has the code for XLS format Excel to JSON javascript code?
Old question, but I should note that the general task of parsing XLS files from javascript is tedious and difficult but not impossible.
I have basic parsers implemented in pure JS:
http://oss.sheetjs.com/js-xls/ (XLS files, what you wanted)
http://oss.sheetjs.com/js-xlsx/ (XLSX/XLSM/XLSB files)
Both pages are HTML5 File API-driven XLS/XLSX parsers (you can drag-drop your file and it will print out the data in the cells in a comma-separated list). You can also generate JSON objects (assuming the first row is a header row).
The test suite http://oss.sheetjs.com/ shows a version that uses XHR to get and parse files.
Upload an excel file here and you can get the data in JSON format in console:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/xlsx/0.8.0/jszip.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/xlsx/0.8.0/xlsx.js"></script>

var ExcelToJSON = function() {
this.parseExcel = function(file) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var data = e.target.result;
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {
type: 'binary'
});
workbook.SheetNames.forEach(function(sheetName) {
// Here is your object
var XL_row_object = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_row_object_array(workbook.Sheets[sheetName]);
var json_object = JSON.stringify(XL_row_object);
console.log(JSON.parse(json_object));
jQuery('#xlx_json').val(json_object);
})
};
reader.onerror = function(ex) {
console.log(ex);
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
};
};
function handleFileSelect(evt) {
var files = evt.target.files; // FileList object
var xl2json = new ExcelToJSON();
xl2json.parseExcel(files[0]);
}
</script>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input id="upload" type=file name="files[]">
</form>
<textarea class="form-control" rows=35 cols=120 id="xlx_json"></textarea>
<script>
document.getElementById('upload').addEventListener('change', handleFileSelect, false);

This code can help youMost of the time jszip.js is not working so include xlsx.full.min.js in your js code.
Html Code
<input type="file" id="file" ng-model="csvFile"

$scope.ExcelExport= function (event) {
var input = event.target;
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(){

If you want the simplest and tiniest way of reading an *.xlsx file in a browser then this library might do:
https://catamphetamine.gitlab.io/read-excel-file/
<input type="file" id="input" />
import readXlsxFile from 'read-excel-file'
const input = document.getElementById('input')
input.addEventListener('change', () => {
readXlsxFile(input.files[0]).then((data) => {
// `data` is an array of rows
// each row being an array of cells.
})
})
In the example above data is raw string data.
It can be parsed to JSON with a strict schema by passing schema argument. See API docs for an example of that.

Thank you for the answer above, I think the scope (of answers) is completed but I would like to add a "react way" for whoever using react.
Create a file called importData.js:
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import XLSX from 'xlsx';
export default class ImportData extends Component{
constructor(props){
super(props);
this.state={
excelData:{}
}
}
excelToJson(reader){
var fileData = reader.result;
var wb = XLSX.read(fileData, {type : 'binary'});
var data = {};
wb.SheetNames.forEach(function(sheetName){
var rowObj =XLSX.utils.sheet_to_row_object_array(wb.Sheets[sheetName]);
var rowString = JSON.stringify(rowObj);
data[sheetName] = rowString;
});
this.setState({excelData: data});
}
loadFileXLSX(event){
var input = event.target;
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = this.excelToJson.bind(this,reader);
reader.readAsBinaryString(input.files[0]);
}
render(){
return (
<input type="file" onChange={this.loadFileXLSX.bind(this)}/>
);
}
}
Then you can use the component in the render method like:
import ImportData from './importData.js';
import React, {Component} from 'react';
class ParentComponent extends Component{
render(){
return (<ImportData/>);
}
}
<ImportData/> would set the data to its own state, you can access Excel data in the "parent component" by following this:
readExcelFile = async ( file ) =>
{
const fileReader = new FileReader();
fileReader.readAsArrayBuffer( file );
fileReader.onload = ( e ) =>
{
const bufferArray = e.target.result;
const wb = XLSX.read( bufferArray, { type: "buffer" } );
const wsname = wb.SheetNames[ 0 ];
const ws = wb.Sheets[ wsname ];
const data = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json( ws );
console.log(data);
};
};
<input type="file" name="excelfile" id="excelfile" readExcelFile(file)>

console.log(rows)
})
})

If you are ever wondering how to read a file from server this code might be helpful.
Restrictions :
File should be in the server (Local/Remote).
You will have to setup headers or have CORS google plugin.

The weird characters you got from reading the Excel file from the FileReader API comes from the structure of the file that differs a lot from a text file.
So reading it as text with the FileReader API will give those weirds character as a result.
What you can do is to use the FileReader API to read it as a binary string.
At this point if you try to log that binary string you will also get weirds characters.
In order to get your file content you need to parse that binary string to extract the data it contains. This can be done quite easily using SheetJS.
import { read, writeFileXLSX, utils } from "https://cdn.sheetjs.com/xlsx-0.18.7/package/xlsx.mjs";
const workbook = read(data, {
type:'binary',
});
data is the binary string resulting from reading an Excel file as a binary string with the FileReader API.
workbook is an object that contains all the data of your file.
The workbook.Sheets instruction will give you access to all the sheets that are in the file.
workbook.Sheets.sheet1 will give you access to the content of the first sheet of the file.
All the related arrays are from the {key:value} type.
The content of a sheet accessed this way is a single dimension object array wich contains all the cells of the sheet starting from the first cell of the header to the last cell wich contains data. Each of those cells has a key like this 'A1', 'B250', 'J3'
This array also have two more entries with those keys '!margin' and '!ref':
'!margin' refers to cells margins so it may not represent any interest.
'!ref' is more interesting as it contains the plage of cells containing data wich is a string like this 'A1:J215' from it you could get the amount of lines or the char of the last column.
If you want more informations you could check the SheetJS documentation and there is a more detailed example here : How to read an excel file contents on client side?
Note :
If you want to use this import statement in an html page you'll need to do it inside those scripts tags : <script type="module" defer> ... </script>
Here is a codepen where you can test this method. There's only the most basic method. There are some shorter ways to do the same by using the SheetJS utils functions to convert directly the sheet content to another format.
XLS is a binary proprietary format used by Microsoft. Parsing XLS with server side languages is very difficult without using some specific library or Office Interop. Doing this with javascript is mission impossible. Thanks to the HTML5 File API you can read its binary contents but in order to parse and interpret it you will need to dive into the specifications of the XLS format. Starting from Office 2007, Microsoft embraced the Open XML file formats (xslx for Excel) which is a standard.
var excel=new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
var book=excel.Workbooks.Open(your_full_file_name_here.xls);
var sheet=book.Sheets.Item(1);
var value=sheet.Range("A1");
when you have the sheet. You could use VBA functions as you do in Excel.
I'm reading xlsx file in javascript using following code:
this.parseExcel = function (file, id) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
var data = e.target.result;
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {
type: 'binary'
});
var template_row_object = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_csv(workbook.Sheets['Template']);};
reader.onerror = function (ex) {
console.log(ex);
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
};
};
code is working fine for xlsx file but I want to use the same code for reading xlsm format.
Using readAsBinaryString is discouraged (it was once removed but brought back for backward compatibility). in fact the hole FileReader is legacy now with the new promise based blob reading methods.
this.parseExcel = async function (file, id) {
const uint8 = new Uint8Array(await file.arrayBuffer())
const workbook = XLSX.read(uint8, { type: 'array' })
const template_row_object = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_csv(workbook.Sheets.Template)
}
It may not answer your question but I guess xlsm is different format that XLSX do not support.
Is it possible to read a excel xlsx or csv, preferably xlsx, using just JavaScript and html. All the solutions (sheetsJS, d3{d3 uses the Fetch API}) I have found require a webserver. I understand I can get a simple webserver using web server for chrome or python or node.js. Futhermore, I understand I can run chrome with certain flags, but I would like to not do this because of security concerns. I am building a demo for someone who is not web savvy and would like to avoid doing this.
my file structure is very simple :
TestFolder
| index.html
| js/
| test.js
| data/
| test.xlsx
| css/
| test.css
I simply need to read the xlsx and then display that data in html page.
I've added a simple example that accepts Excel or CSV files (current example accepts a single file), uses the SheetJS library to parse the Excel file type, convert the data to JSON and logs the contents to the console.
This should be more than enough to complete your demo. Hope this helps!
var file = document.getElementById('docpicker')
var viewer = document.getElementById('dataviewer')
file.addEventListener('change', importFile);
function importFile(evt) {
var f = evt.target.files[0];
if (f) {
var r = new FileReader();
r.onload = e => {
var contents = processExcel(e.target.result);
console.log(contents)
}
r.readAsBinaryString(f);
} else {
console.log("Failed to load file");
}
}
function processExcel(data) {
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, {
type: 'binary'
});
var firstSheet = workbook.SheetNames[0];
var data = to_json(workbook);
return data
};
function to_json(workbook) {
var result = {};
workbook.SheetNames.forEach(function(sheetName) {
var roa = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(workbook.Sheets[sheetName], {
header: 1
});
if (roa.length) result[sheetName] = roa;
});
return JSON.stringify(result, 2, 2);
};

You could try using the Fetch API to download the file and process it with JavaScript.
fetch('data/test.xlsx').then(function(resp) {
// Process the data here...
console.log('Data Response: ', resp);
});
It would be much easier to work with if your data file was in JSON format, but this might work for your needs.
Update - Example when the data is in JSON format
fetch('data/test.xlsx').then(function(resp) {
var records = resp.json(); // Assuming that we receive a JSON array.
console.log('Records: ', records.length);
records.forEach(function(record){
console.log('Record Name: ', record.name); // Assuming each record has a name property

I want to read excel to save in MySQL database by using NodeJS. I do not know what library to use. I want to be able to read excel based on certain rows and columns. Please help me.
There are many libraries that you can use :
sheetjs/xlsx
excel.js
etc.
There's a great library SheetJS/js-xlsx that provides an API for reading Excel documents.
For example, if you are uploading a file, you'll end up with something like this:
var XLSX = require('xlsx');
function importFromExcel(file) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function (e) {
/* read workbook */
var bstr = e.target.result;
var workbook = XLSX.read(bstr, { type: 'binary' });
/* for each sheet, grab a sheet name */
workbook.SheetNames.forEach(function (workSheetName, index) {
var sheetName = workbook.SheetNames[index];
var workSheet = workbook.Sheets[sheetName];
var excelData = (XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(workSheet, { header: 1 }));
mapExcelData(excelData); // do whatever you want with your excel data
});
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
}
function mapExcelData(data) {...}
so I have this app where I upload a csv file using FileUploader. However now my requirement is to also allow excel files. The problem is that FileUploader doesn't support excel as it reads garbage. This is my attempt at parsing an excel file based on this example http://oss.sheetjs.com/js-xlsx/
Code:
var fileUpload = this.getView().byId("fileUploader");
var domRef = fileUpload.getFocusDomRef();
var file = domRef.files[0];
var XLSX = new ExcelPlus();
XLSX.createFile(["CT_MAIN"]);
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(e) {
var strCSV = e.target.result;
var arr = String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new
Uint8Array(strCSV));
// var arr = fixData(strCSV);
console.log('data');
console.log(arr);
var workbook = XLSX.read(arr, {type : 'base64'});
console.log('output');
console.log(workbook);
//var output = toCsv(workbook);
//each one of the rows in the csv file
//var rows = arr;//strCSV.split("\n");
var rows = arr.split("\n");
.....
};
//reader.readAsText(file);
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
//reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
If I upload a csv file using this code everything works fine. If I use an excel file I get the following

what am I doing wrong, or what am I missing here?
Edit: after doing var workbook = XLSX.read(arr, {type : 'base64'}); I get null for both file types. The above garbage log comes from console.log(arr);
Since you are getting the file from the domRef you wouldn't need ExcelPlus. You just need to read the file as a binary string using xlsx. You will have to include the xlsx.full.min.js in your script.
var fileUpload = this.getView().byId("fileUploader");
var domRef = fileUpload.getFocusDomRef();
var file = domRef.files[0];
//var XLSX = new ExcelPlus();
//XLSX.createFile(["CT_MAIN"]);
var reader = new FileReader();
var name = file.name;
reader.onload = function (e) {
var data = e.target.result;
var workbook = XLSX.read(data, { type: 'binary' });
var result = {};
workbook.SheetNames.forEach(function (sheetName) {
var rObjArr = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_row_object_array(workbook.Sheets[sheetName]);
if (rObjArr.length > 0) {
result[sheetName] = rObjArr;
}
});
var output = JSON.stringify(result, 2, 2);
console.log('output');
console.log(output);
};
reader.readAsBinaryString(file);
