Specifies the Excel (.xlsx) Extensions to the Office OpenXML SpreadsheetML File Format, which are extensions to the Office Open XML fileformats as described in [ISO/IEC-29500-1]. The extensions are specified usingconventions provided by the Office Open XML file formats as described in[ISO/IEC-29500-3].
We have seen that the last x of an xlsx file indicates that the file is compressed and respects the XML standard. The M, of an xlsm file, indicates the file contains macros
The draw back to .xlsx & .xlsm is that they (xlsx & xlsm) take as much as 3 times longer (in time) to open.
I made a file and saved it down as .xlsx. Then I saved down the same file as .xls. Agreed, the .xls file shows that it's much larger, but it only took 4 seconds to open as to where the .xlsx file took about 18 seconds to open. I'm not ready to get rid of my .xls files because of this.
I haven't done this in a while, but I'm now trying to convert an .xlsx file to a .csv file. I need to have a .csv file to import a bunch of data into a computer system at work. I've done this before and it has never been an issue. Now I'm having a bunch of issues. The biggest problem is that my source .xlsx file contains cells with 10-digit codes and some of them start with one or more zeros. In the source file, I have these cells set to "text" formatting so that Excel doesn't wipe the leading zeros. I click "Save As", select ".csv", enter a file name and location, and click "Save". The system pops up a new Excel window with the newly created CSV file, and the data looks correct. However, when I close that new file and then reopen the file by double-clicking it in my destination folder, it opens Excel and shows that the 10-digit codes have been converted from text to numbers, and thus Excel sees fit to drop any and all leading zeros! I thought the purpose of a .csv file was to store information without touching the formatting. Now these codes are not only worthless, but dangerous, because if I accidentally imported them into my work system, it would corrupt a bunch of other information because it won't recognize the codes properly.
Ok, second issue I'm seeing is that my source .xlsx file has multiple tabs. I want to be able to create one .csv file for each tab in the .xlsx file. I open a certain tab and go through the process above to save as a .csv file. Excel pops up a warning that converting to .csv will drop formatting and will only convert the active tab to a new .csv file. I click "Ok" and then the newly created .csv file opens automatically (like I mentioned above). However, instead of seeing a new .csv file with only one tab (from the active tab in the source file), I'm seeing all of the tabs. If I close and open the file - which blows up my 10dig codes like I said above - all of the tabs are still there. I have no idea what would happen if I tried to import that new .csv file into my computer system at work... but I'm guessing it would be bad.
Hi, I'm a beginner trying to create a power automate system where if an email comes in, it will detect the .csv attachment, download it to my one drive, have it convert it/create a new .xlsx which will then be sent to another set of emails.

Nevermind, I just decided to make some adjustments & create a new template option to go directly to an excel table here: -Automate-Cookbook/CSV-To-Excel-Table/td-p/1826096
Hello, you can export the data to a csv but with rows and columns.
Create a flow with a csv table and in the first column use the expression "concat" for all the items separated by ';'
Excel when opening the csv orders it as if it were xlsx
I am searching for a solution in LabVIEW to convert every sheet from a excel file in .csv files. I use .csv files with Read from Spreadsheet to extract some data and and it will be more efficient to give the path to excel file in the application than to save each sheet with .csv format and give the path to each of them.
So here's my question: what do you really want to do? Do you have an Excel (.xlsx) file? Does it have any Excel-specific "features" (such as formatting, column widths, coloring, graphs, etc.)? What do you really want to do with it?
So here are some suggestions. Let's assume your Excel file is called My Data.xlsx, and it has four sheets, Run 1, Run 2, Run 3, and Run 4. Note that I'm assuming you have the Report Generation Toolkit, which allows you to read and write Excel (.xlsx) files.
This question is tagged with excel-vba and that is certainly one appropriate way to control the Excel program (so you can modify data while it is open in Excel, or close Excel). If you want an interface to Excel using Python, the best package these days is xlwings.
The first variable - A - contains letters and the row with the most characters (including spaces) contains 32 characters. When I import the excel file using the command above it appears that the variable is truncated at 17 characters (length: 17, /format/informat: $17) .
You could also trying using the LIBNAME statement with the XLSX engine. That may be better -- not quite sure without seeing the data. I personally loathe when data is sent to me in excel, and I would use the LIBNAME statement with the XLSX engine if data is sent to me in this form.
When I go to save it, you can see in the "File Format" pop-up menu, the file type is (.xml). Is there a way to get KM to consistently select "Excel Workbook (.xlsx)"? The location of the save-as dialog box could be anywhere on my laptop screen or on an additional screen. I can't be the only person with this problem.
That setting was already set to .xlsx but since Excel thought it was a .xml file when it opened to file, that's what is in the File Format pop-up. (The pain in the neck part is when I rename the file and put it in the right folder and then hit save, I get a dialog that asks if I want to keep .xml. When I click "No", I have to start the process all over.)
IMO both that and the potential "where is it saved?" problem will be avoided by a complete workflow -- either a manual trigger on selected file or "watched folder" monitoring of Downloads for an arriving .xls, rename to .xml, open in Excel and "Save As" to an explicit location as .xlsx, delete original.
I have created a new dataset in Rstudio, and I would like to export it into an Excel file. I saw that I could use the xlsx package, but then errors come up:
'Error: package 'rJava' could not be loaded'.
I've found the openxlsx package to be easier to use than the xlsx package. It also doesn't have a java dependency. The main command for directly writing a data frame to an Excel file is write.xlsx. You can also create worksheets, do lots of fancy formatting and write multiple tables to a worksheet (see the vignettes here for some examples), but start with write.xlsx for basic creation of Excel files.
My copy of LibreOffice, version 3.5.0rc3, is capable of opening and saving xlsx files. Presumably any version after that will, and probably some version before. LibreOffice has more community developed plugins in its package, so OpenOffice may not have xlsx capabilities.
Note: LibreOffice Calc yelled at me when closing a modified .xlsx file. He asked me if I wanted to "use the default ODF file format to be sure that the document is saved correctly". I personally consider that to be my employer's problem.
To write a single object to an Excel .xlsx file it is only necessary tospecify a target file name. To write to multiple sheets it is necessary tocreate an ExcelWriter object with a target file name, and specify a sheetin the file to write to.
Thanks for the tips I know this is an old thread but I was having the same issue and check assoc in cmd showed it as others had it and the association was just not working. I ran CC cleaner 4 times in a row removing all errors and then right clicked the excel file changed the default program by navigating to the actual excel program in Microsoft office etc. (this time the icon appeared in the quick association window) and chose the excel icon then hit save. No more having to open excel then open the file for that user!
When I go into Default programs .xls and .xlsx say they are set to Excel but the icon on the left is lighter than other extensions that open Excel successfully. When I change it to Excel it spins for a minute and does nothing.%uFEFF
Okay, I am actually using Excel, not Google sheets (are they interchangeable?) Anyways, yes I do have the filenames, sheet names, source queries all ready to go, but just trying to figure out a way to export them all into an Excel object (one query result per Excel worksheet) and then when all done, download the Excel file with the pre specified name. My main issue I am trying to solve with this is I have my database in Snowflake and need to export some queries from there into a Single Excel fie so I can then load that single Excel file into a 3rd party program. Have the Retool tool completely built for this and it works excellently! EXCEPT for this very last piece of functionality.
Currently, obsidian only allows pdfs and images to be added to the edtior.
It would be helpful to have the ability to insert/embed file formats other than pdf. I work with a lot of excel and word files and it helps having those files linked to notes for reference.
