Can a telegram bot read an exel file that I sent to it?

Question

Python

I need to extract some information from the exel file, can the bot, when I send him an exel file, subtract information from it in some way?

Answer 1

it's not about the bot, it's about python and libraries. All the bot does is fetch a request from the user (with a specific context, file type, text, etc) and give a response. Anything in between doesn't really apply to a bot. So no, a telegram bot cannot. But python and libraries probably can, and then the bot can send the result of their work. This is all to the fact that the question could not be associated with bots at all, but rather set it as "Is it possible to extract some information from an excel file in Python?".
(Python experts don’t beat me, I wrote purely my subjective opinion)

Answer 2

Yes maybe. It's possible. Learn libraries for working with exel files and telegram bots.

Answer 3

Yes, you can, if we are talking about Excel (and not exel).
Depends on the file format. The new .xlsx is quite easy to read, there are libraries for this, but you can also use the standard Python library - it's just a zip archive with a bunch of xml files inside. Digging out the data will not be very difficult.
But the old .xls is a binary, poorly documented format. He will have problems.
