Excel 2007 problem

I am facing a issue with loading a data from Excel 2007

Please find below the problem statement:-

Every day a file PDMD(Today’sdate).xlsx is generated in

the system with sheet name PDM(today’s day).

For ex. On 16 May 2012 , PDMD16052012 will be generated with

sheetname PDM16

           On 17 May 2012 , PDMD17052012 will be generated

with sheetname PDM17.

Now if I load data from each and every excel I will write a

code as below :-

Load *

From

PDMD????????.xls

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is PDMD??);

But unfortunately the above code is not working when the

datasource is Excel 2007 but same is working if datasource

is Excel 2003.

Please suggest .

Is it not just because you must change the extension from .xls to .xlsx ?

Actually robert is almost right. if it is Excel 2007 files, the format is .xlsx, hence it uses

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is PDMD??).

However, if you save as a Excel 2003 file, the format is .xls, hence it uses

(biff, embedded labels, table is PDMD??).

Dear all,

the extension is .xlsx sorry it has been written as .xls in the problem statement.

So do you know for sure that this system generated excelfile really is a true XLSX file or could it actually be a XLS file just renamed as a XLSX file?
