Describe the bug
Some Excel files returns empty results in both Web UI and API. Other Excel files I tested do return expected results.

parser = LlamaParse(
            result_type=ResultType.MD, ignore_errors=False
        )
result = parser.get_json_result('path/to/Eqvista_DCF-Excel-Template.xlsx')

result:

[{'pages': [],
  'job_metadata': {'credits_used': 14.0,
   'credits_max': 1000,
   'job_credits_usage': 0,
   'job_pages': 0,
   'job_is_cache_hit': True},
  'job_id': 'cac11eca-ebec-4f09-b8ee-260c6a74aa9f',
  'file_path': 'path/to/Eqvista_DCF-Excel-Template.xlsx'}]

Thanks for reporting, it should now work.

If the issue persist for cached job (job id start with cac11eca, try to set invalid_cache=True in your query.
