Read an MS Excel File with the spatial extensionSQL
Editor's note: It might seem a bit odd, but the DuckDB spatial extension includes a function for reading Microsoft Excel XLSX files into DuckDB. This is because a lot of geospatial files are shared this way, but you can take advantage of this capability even if you have no spatial data!
