Related to this, is there a way to extract images from the excel sheet?

[oising]

Seconded.

[mikehedman]

I also have a requirement to get images out of the sheets. Thanks.

This is a high priority feature for me, as well.

[maertz]

Another guy which would like to see that :)

[tcs-apeters]

Me too. We would like to avoid to switch.

Files are stored if you set the file option to true, they're stored as JSZip ZipObjects.

I'm looking into unzipping them in the browser but so far no luck.

I unzip/extract and even update images in xlsx files in the browser using the JSZip library. It's definitely possible.

[cranesandcaff]

In the browser I had a JSZip ZipObject, but it didn't seem to have the inherited methods, when I tried instantiating it as a new ZipObject with the constructor it threw an error. I kind of dismissed it because it's of low importance right now, would you mind show a small code example of getting an image out of an xlsx file?

We offer this in the Pro compendium. Since companies have paid for the features already, it would be unfair to them if we turned around and made it available as open source. We have a longer comment in a gist.
