This PR is for #498, not the other issue.

@andersnm Please let us know when will this feature will be available

@appel1 when will we support to read strict open xml excel files?

@iamherrylok I don't know. I'm trying to get in contact with the current owner of the repo to get enough access so I can merge PRs and do a new release. No luck so far unfortunately.

I'm not the original owner. I did a bunch of work on this a few years ago, but not for a long time. I do seem to have pull access though. I don't seem to have any other rights, likely granting access.

Hi @Ian1971 !

Can you still log in with the "ExcelDataReader" user? I always assumed it was you who had the credentials for it, surely it was you who granted me access back in the days per this thread? #169

hmmm good point. I don't remember having the login for that user but will check

Hey I got in. Many apologies for not spotting this sooner. I could transfer the repo to you or arrange to get you the login (so that the repo url remains unchanged)

@Ian1971 Cool! It would be nice to keep the URL, so we should arrange for somebody else to take over and maybe convert the ExcelDataReader user to a Github organisation. I could do it, but my vote goes to @appel1 who's the most active contributor currently, as myself has been sidelined by personal issues the last years

You have nuget access?

@Ian1971 We're good on Nuget. Tho @appel1 still has a pending invite to join the recently created ExcelDataReader organization (Nuget user "appel")

@andersnm Weird, never got any notification about that.

@appel1 You want me to send you the ExcelDataReader login somehow?

@Ian1971 Sure, e-mail works for me.

What email shall I use?

Right, sent you an email (I think).

Cheers. Replied. Hopefully all good?

Yes, looks good. Thanks.

@monikalaks Can you fix the conflicts?
