Comments:
What's more, the downloaded data is actually a folder instead of an excel file.

Hi hi, instead of using `download_and_extract` function, I only use `download` function: `base_dir = Path(dl_manager.download(urls))`. It turns out that the code works for `datasets==2.2.2`, however, it doesn't work with `datasets==2.4.0`. 

Hi @yana-xuyan, thanks for reporting.

Indeed you already found the answer: an Excel file should be just downloaded and not downloaded-and-extracted.

The reason why is that if you call also extract, our library will try to infer the compression format (and extract it). And Excel files are viewed as ZIP files and extracted as so (into a directory). This is because the Office Open XML is indeed a zipped file under the hood): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML
> Office Open XML (also informally known as OOXML) is a **zipped**, XML-based file format
```python
import zipfile

zipfile.is_zipfile("filename.xlsx")
```
returns `True`.

Hi @albertvillanova, thank you for your reply! Do you have any clue on why the same error still exists with `datasets==2.4.0` even after I don't extract the downloaded file? FYI, if I downgrade to `datasets==2.2.2`, the code works fine.

I guess this has to do with the cache: you should remove the previously-wrongly generated directory from the cache; otherwise `datasets` tries to re-use it.
