See this [post](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/57764/6). I expect the example could be modified for an Excel file, specifically I expect you would need to change the Content-type value to indicate the appropriate [media type like 'vnd.ms-excel'](https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml). Let me know if it helps.
