Handling a Password Protected Excel Document

Runner

Is there a way to provide a password parameter to an Excel Job, or use some other job in this way so that a Sheet from a password protected Excel document can be read into a database?

Hi,
Yes, you can provide a password parameter when reading a password-protected Excel sheet into a database. In many programming environments, such as Python with the pandas library, you can use the read_excel function with a password argument to open the protected sheet. For example:
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_excel(‘protected_file.xlsx’, sheet_name=‘Sheet1’, password=‘your_password’)

You can then proceed to load the DataFrame df into your database.

Thanks
