# 📄 Excel file

### Excel file

To add any xlsx/xls file, use the data\_type as `excel_file`. `excel_file` allows remote urls and conventional file paths. Eg:

```python theme={null}
from embedchain import App

app = App()
app.add('https://example.com/content/intro.xlsx', data_type="excel_file")
# Or add file using the local file path on your system
# app.add('content/intro.xls', data_type="excel_file")

app.query("Give brief information about data.")
```
