title: How to load xlsx file using fread function?
body: <p>I wanted to use fread function to load all the datasets as I think it would better to use one type of import function so I just sticked to the fread.</p>
  
  <p>Few of my files are in xlsx format and I was saving them to csv format and then using the fread function was trying to load the datasets.</p>
  
  <p>But I noticed that when I converted the xlsx files into csv, an empty or incomplete row was being created in the newly created csv files.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can resolve this issue? Can I load xlsx file somehow using the fread function rather than converting it to csv file and then loading it using the fread function?</p>
