I don't think there's a default excel adapter in rga.

(I wanted one somewhat recently, and then doing a find for xls on the linked page returns 0 results)

You are correct that rga doesn't ship with an Excel adapter out of the box. I have an open PR [1] to allow users to process XLS and XLSX files like any other Zip archive.
