Describe the bug
I’m experiencing an issue with Llamaparse when trying to process specific Excel files. Each time I attempt to parse these documents, I receive an error message similar to the one below:
Started parsing the file under job_id 6a04d858-34ae-4eb6-a11f-18a4886049e5
Error while parsing the file '/content/drive/MyDrive/data/test_pdf/reports--54859-BB-attach-8bc01879-8bd2-4f2c-97b3-e08337a56ebf.xlsx': Job ID: 6a04d858-34ae-4eb6-a11f-18a4886049e5 failed with status: ERROR, Error code: UNSUPPORTED_FILE_TYPE, Error message: Unsupported file type.

Client:
I have tested 3 clients :

  • Python Library
  • Frontend (cloud.llamaindex.ai)
  • Notebook

Additional context
In Notebook python client , my script :
import nest_asyncio
nest_asyncio.apply()

parser = LlamaParse(
api_key="xxxx",
result_type="markdown",
language="fr",
verbose=True
)
json_objs_excel2 = parser.get_json_result("/content/drive/MyDrive/data/test_pdf/reports--54859-BB-attach-8bc01879-8bd2-4f2c-97b3-e08337a56ebf.xlsx")
