I am getting an “This file’s format is not supported or you don’t specify a correct format.” exception when trying to instantiate with the attached105973063_1.ZIP (7.2 KB)

Please advise,

Thanks for using Aspose APIs.

This exception occurs due to the fact that your Excel file format is very old. If your Excel file format is before 97, then you will get this exception.

You can check your Excel file format by opening it in Microsoft Excel and then click Save As… menu command. See this screenshot.
