You could try this one and it works for me:

$filePath = "uploads/import/test.xlx";                                  
$this->load->library('PHPExcel');                         
$objReader = new PHPExcel_Reader_Excel5();                        
$objPHPExcel = $objReader->load($filePath);
$sheetData = $objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->toArray(null,true,true,true);
