Action Flow: Sharepoint Online XLSX Question

I have the following problem: I would like to upload a .XLSX file into my workspace via an ActionFlow. The .XLSX file is located on SharePoint Online. I can download the file using the "Download a File" action (Microsoft SharePoint Online) in the ActionFlow. However, I'm stuck at that point. In the output, the data is in "binary" format. How do I convert it from binary back to something I can import into a workspace? I have tried many things, but I just can't find the solution. Does anyone have any advice?

Hi @michael.lenz,

Did you try using the Excel Component for Action Flows? It seems it has more options to obtain data from an Excel file: https://docs.celonis.com/en/microsoft-365-excel--action-flow-.html

I hope this helps!
