Hey everyone. I saw similar topics here, but still no answer. Maybe someone can specify it? 🙂 I need to implement an availability to upload data from the Excel files on the front end. Currently, it’s possible with the CSV format. But I need to have it with the default Excel files (xls e.g.) I’ve tried several plugins, but they don’t work for me: - [csvbox.io](http://csvbox.io) (it just doesn’t connect my API, though I’m following exactly the instruction) - 1T CSV uploader (doesn’t read any files besides CSV) Maybe is there a way of translating the file’s format at the moment of uploading? ---

Hello ! I tried [csvbox.io](http://csvbox.io) a few days ago and it worked fine for me after a quick chat with their customer support, on my side I just followed this tutorial: [Bubble.io - csvbox.io](https://help.csvbox.io/destinations/bubble.io). Otherwise, I advise you to contact their team via their chat if you encounter a problem, they answer quickly! ---

Thank you! I just figured out that this plugin didn’t work for me, because I’m using not the “test” version (in my project there are several development versions). Now I will try to solve this issue 😄 ![photo_2021-12-23_10-01-04](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/0/2/02fe73167842865a9f5ebc3037850f636f00808e.jpeg) ---

UPD: [csvbox.io](http://csvbox.io) also updated this feature. The problem is resolved. Thanks! ---

Do you know how I can fill out the data field “Created by” with the current user? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/e/9/e9225bd26d8ce0e990bf80d906e425b40ebcd295.png) ---
