Hi
In 2.0 on my computer i works- Please remember to close the file in Excel 
before opening in QGIS - I get an Attribute table. If you want to open and use 
colums as x and y coordinates - Save your xls to csv and open as CSV.
Regards
Lene

Emne: [Qgis-user] Cannot add XLS table, no recognized data type

The QGIS 2.0 User Guide states that I can add Excel (XLS) files like other 
layers and tables. Page 50 of Anita Graser’s Learning QGIS 2.0 book (great book 
by the way) also says “…we can load XLS files by simply dragging them into QGIS 
from the file browser or using Add Vector Layer.” However, My .xls file does 
not appear in the file browser. And when I try to add it by other methods, I 
get the “…is not a valid or recognized data source” error message. Am I missing 
something obvious? Is there something I need to do to be able to ad .xls tables 
that was not documented?
Thanks for any help.

David
