Hello @yibiao911! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contribution requests you have. Let's work together to solve the issue you're facing.

The issue you're experiencing with the Doc Extractor in Dify version 1.0.0, where it fails to parse data from an Excel document, might be due to stability issues, as version 1.0.0 hasn't been officially released yet. It is recommended to downgrade to version 0.15.3, which is known to handle XLS files without such issues [1].

To continue talking to Dosu, mention @dosu.
