Hi Rodrigo Lima ,

I agree with Nuno miguel verdasca.

Also you can try to use

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

Index(UploadWidget.Filename,".xls",startIndex:,searchFromEnd:,ignoreCase:True)>-1

Hope this helps you!!

You can check the FileType. It will provide information about the file. I hope you will identify the file type from there.

Thankx,

The excel fileType is always ""application/octet-stream""?
All i want to do is an exception to translate this phrase to portuguese.

Sudip Dey: I cannot make OML available. But follow a picture below.
I need to limit the user to trying to upload different Excel files.
