I am getting this error message when accessing a spreadsheet in Google Sheets, I know that the error occurs because it is hosted on the google drive and is in xlsx format. Does anyone know any alternative to performing this conversion from xlsx to gsheet directly in the code?

Answer 1

Yes, you can convert an .xlsx to Google Sheets

For this, use the method Drive v2 method Files: Copy specifying convert true.

Sample:

service.files().copy(fileId=file_id,convert=true, body={"title": "specifyName"}).execute()

You can also convert the Excel file within Google Drive to use it with Google Sheets API.

See Google Workspace Learning Center: Sheets and Excel best practices, Convert Excel files to Sheets:

Open Drive and double-click an Excel file. A preview of your file opens.

At the top, click "Open with Google Sheets".

Click "File" and then "Save as Google Sheets".
