Excel files are basically CSV files, aren’t they ?
What could be the reason my excel file “branch” be not considered a valid CSV file… This is the error msg I get.
If you open it in a text editor, does it look like a CSV file?

Excel files are indeed not much like CSV files at all. In fact, an Excel file is internally a ZIP file containing XML files. However, packages do exist for reading Excel files into Julia. Try XLSX.jl.
where do i write xlsx.jl pls ?
You can install it by typing ]add XLSX in your REPL.
i TYPED this in my REPL
Pkg.add(“xlsx”)
but I got the same error
Try typing ]add XLSX, and remember to capitalize.

I git a msg of no change but after I run the main code, I get the same error . what could be the reason 
What code are you trying to run? Are you using the XLSX package as in this tutorial?
