Cannot upload my file - keep on getting the error, "Invalid file formatError: invalid format" but I've checked that my file is XLS. Is there another way to view a more specific error for the file type?

A general workaround would be to convert the XLS to CSV and then load the CSV.

Regarding the root cause, this may have multiple reasons why you see the observed symptoms:

1. Not really a XLS flie, some applications such as Salesforce create HTML files and relabel them as XLS.
2. Corrupt XLS file, row count can't be >65536.
3. Complex formatting (filtering) and referencing may cause similar issues
