Idea / RFE Review. Apologies for the length of time this RFE has been held in Uncommitted Candidate / Future Consideration status. As you may be aware, we have been pursuing a technical strategy for a few years now to simplify the ability of our integration portfolio when communicating with 3rd party SaaS based applications. This has largely involved new connectors for the Designer flow authoring tool, and in this tool we may in future expand to support some kind of Excel connector. Meanwhile, in the Toolkit flow programming model we are now unlikely to create a message domain / parser in support of Excel. As noted in previous comments, DFDL csv support and .NETInput nodes provide two alternative methods to get data from Excel into an ACE message flow and we feel these solutions provide good options for Toolkit flows.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:

For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:

Product - IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) - IIB
Thanks for raising this requirement for an Excel parser, which we would like to implement in time. Today you can either export the spreadsheet data into a format that is easily parsed (e.g. a CSV file), or you could use a V9 .NETInput node to interact with the file directly using (for example) the C# APIs.
