Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines do not support read_files with format excel yet

[DhivyaKeerthana]

Error: Failed to find the data source: excel. Make sure the provider name is correct and the package is properly registered and compatible with your Spark version.

Upon checking the cluster details, it is running with 16.4 yet. When will it be updated to 17 or above?

Hi @DhivyaKeerthana ,

As you correctly mentioned the native Excel support is available as a preview feature in runtime >= 17.
So you can try to use preview channel in SDP which is based on runtime version 17.3
