I have a series of Excel's that are protected by the business. I have the required permissions to view the file manually however I would like to create a programmatic way to extract the data from these excels. I have tried using Python to read and extract the data from these Excels but have encountered the applied protection restrictions. Is there a way I can access these files programmatically? Maybe using Azure permissions?

There is a tick box that indicates that access can be done programmatically. Can you please elaborate on what access is allowed, and how it can be done?
