Automate Spreadsheet Data Extraction and Processing
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly extract and process data from spreadsheet files with this n8n workflow. Trigger the process manually and transform your CSV data into usable formats.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the reading and processing of spreadsheet data. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing you to initiate the process on demand. Once triggered, the workflow reads a specified binary file, treating it as a spreadsheet. The Read Binary File node is configured to access a /data/sample_spreadsheet.csv file, making it ideal for integrating with existing file storage. The output of this node is then passed to the Spreadsheet File node, which is designed to handle spreadsheet data, enabling further manipulation or integration with other services. This setup is perfect for automating repetitive data handling tasks.
Key Features
- Manual Trigger: Initiate data processing with a simple click.
- Binary File Reading: Access and read raw file content for processing.
- Spreadsheet Interpretation: Dedicated node for handling spreadsheet formats.
