Got it. Alternatively, you can use Python to import the data

```auto
import clr
import System
from System.IO import FileInfo
import DSOffice

# Take path string from Dynamo input
path = IN[0]

# Convert to FileInfo object
fileInfo = FileInfo(path)

# Import Excel
data = DSOffice.Data.ImportExcel(fileInfo, "Sheet1", False, True)

# Output to Dynamo
OUT = data

```
