Spreadsheet cfc problem

I am attempting to use the cfsimplicity cfspreadsheet cfc library to read a
simple spreadsheet into a query.
Using the example code from github I have this:

mypath="file.xls"; spreadsheet=New spreadsheet_cfc.Spreadsheet(); myQuery=spreadsheet.read( src=mypath,format="query" );

I get this error The key [WORKBOOK] does not exist, but there is a similar
key with name [WORKBOOKFROMQUERY] available.
The error occurred on line 870 in file spreadsheet_cfc/Spreadsheet.cfc.

This is on a fresh install of Lucee 10,0,0,0 on Linux
3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64

Can anyone help? I am new to Lucee and missing something…

Wow! Thanks again for that- No wonder- its over 20 years old! HenryOn 8/4/2016 2:46 PM, Julian Halliwell wrote:

Thanks for sending me the file, Henry.

The problem is that the file was created using an older version of
Excel which isn’t supported by POI, the Java Library that’s used to
provide the spreadsheet functionality.

If you open the file in Excel, do File > Save As… and then choose
“Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP” as the format, you should find that it
works.

I’ll add a ticket to the Spreadsheet Library repo to improve the error
message to warn that files need to be in this format or later.

Cheers
Julian.

Sounds like something specific to your XLS file that’s preventing it
from being read as a Spreadsheet object.

I’d be happy to take a look if you’re able to share the file in
question. You can email it to julianhalliwell at gmail dot com.

I did install the cfspreadsheet extension and got an almost identical error
message. The difference was “Workbook” and “Book” keys. Backtracking to the
extension examples I found they they worked. And the spreadsheet file
included with the demos works with my test page, just not the spreadsheet I
need it to.

Thank You but, nope it definitely finds the xls file. When i change it I
get a file not found error.

avail.
i’m going to put the data from mine into a brand new xls… and then maybe
into the demo’s sample sheet… see what happens.
Someone out there knows exactly what this error is-- Thx H.

Ah right, there you go.

I’ve fixed the error message now so anyone else running up against the
same issue will get a more helpful explanation:
