currently i can't read an older excel file format (.xls) and it isn't easy to convert them to current format (.xlsx) programmatically. I still receive files from vendors that are in the older format.

This is possible today with the Excel connector in Dataflow Gen2. You will be required to use a Gateway as there is a dependency on the ACE driver in order to read xls, xlsb and other files (such as Access database files) that require such driver. You can read more about how to import data from xls files using the documentation from the link below:
