title: BigQuery: loading excel file
body: <p>Is there any way we can load direct excel file into BigQuery, instead of converting to CSV.</p>
  
  <p>I get the files every days in excel format and need to load into BigQuery. Right now converting into CSV manually and loading into BigQuery. </p>
  
  <p>Planning to schedule the job. </p>
  
  <p>If not possible to load the excel files directly into BigQuery then I need to write a process(Python) to convert into CSV before loading into BigQuery.  </p>
  
  <p>Please let me know if any better options are there.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
