I searched but I don't think it was already asked
Any plans to import/export Excel files (.xlsx / Office Open XML)?

Research direction
Start by examining phpMyAdmin's current import/export paths for CSV and ODS, then determine the integration scope for Office Open XML. Done means users can import and export .xlsx files; the issue does not identify files, entry points, or tests.
