Text can be read from Word and TXT files. However, for Excel files, it doesn't work even when I try other files.

I found a similar unsolved discussion titled File Extractor Import Excel Cannot Read is displayed as emptyHelp which might be related to your issue ^[1]. Additionally, there was a closed issue titled The LLM does not get the contents of the document extractor correctly, which was resolved by a pull request that fixed Unicode escape characters ^[2].

For your specific problem, ensure that the necessary dependencies for the ExcelExtractor are installed and updated. These include pandas, openpyxl, and xlrd ^[3]. If these are already in place, check if there are any configuration settings or conditions in your workflow that might be preventing the ExcelExtractor from executing, such as an empty variable_selector ^[4]. Additionally, review any logs for error messages that might provide insights into the failure ^[5].
