Are you using Bower or npm? If not, use the Browser part of the installation instructions
Is there a easier to do this? I kinda donāt understand it. Sorry for being this way but I dont understand
Sometimes people pay others to do the work for them. However, doing it yourself is the best way to learn how to do this, and gives you highly useful skills that help you use the incredible world of code libraries that are out there as well.
It makes sense to use the js-xlsx version too, as that supports xls as well as xlsx
Letās make this simpler for you. What does the installation section say to do in the browser part of it?
I get it. I tried before I cam to ask for help but could not make it work. I did instal using the npm on my browser
Are you using Node for the rest of your javascript project?
Yes I think but Iām not familiar with node. Iām basic with it
Letās keep this simple and not use Node or NPM. For what youāre doing those are extra confusions that are not needed at this stage.
Instead, just go with the browser version.
Okay I will use the broswer version What should i do next?
What does the installation section say to do, in regard to the browser?
Please help. I donāt know
Go to the installation section and look where it says āIn the browser:ā
What is the single line of HTML code that it shows below that line?

I did that
<script lang="javascript" src="dist/xlsx.core.min.js"></script>
Good one. Do you know how to get that dist/xlsx.core.min.js file?
If not, the top of the page has a large green button that lets you download the whole library as a zip file.
You will only need to extract one file from that zip, which is the dist/xlsx.core.min.js file.
Do you need help with getting and extracting that file?

Finish doing that. Whatās next?
The next step is the Parsing workbooks section of the installation instructions.
There are Node and Browser DOM table sets of instructions there. Both donāt seem to be suitable for what you are doing.
Instead, you can ignore the first line of the Node instructions (the require line), as you are already using the HTML code to load the library. Thatās the only Node specific part of that.
Itās just the second line from that Node example that you will be needing to read the workbook.

Should put this in the body?
if(typeof require !== 'undefined') XLSX = require('xlsx');
var workbook = XLSX.readFile('test.xlsx');
Or save it as a separate file?
No, you got it wrong.
I asked you for only the second line from that Node example, in the Parsing workbooks section.
What is that second line?
