xlrd.biffh.XLRDError: Excel xlsx file; not supported

[Hellsender01]

The latest version of xlrd is not working fine with this tool

Instead, we have to install an old version of xlrd

pip2 uninstall xlrd
pip2 install xlrd==1.2.0

[sam-acker]

For anyone else having trouble with this make sure you uninstall the latest version first pip uninstall xlrd

I uninstalled pip uninstall xlrd and i installed pip install xlrd==1.2.0 and it still does not work. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Same here. Any progress?

Yes, the only way I got it to work is to take the file and convert it to .xlsx the send it through the converter again back to .xls.

Use environments and problem solved!

I have also migrated the tool to Python 3
