Hi,

In apex i can able to extract data from EXCEL using XLSX PARSER, but in my case user uploading the file based on the file type (Ex: EXCEL/CSV/JSON/XML) i'm storing into as a blob column.

i want to extract the data(from Blob column) based on the type and i want to storing into another table as a records.

Is there any option to extract the data from blob column.

Please provide any sample.

Thanks,
Praveen

APEX_DATA_PARSER is what you are going to want for that. It covers a whole suite of data transformations.

Take a look at this article by Tim Hall. It looks like it covers exactly what you have just specified.
