Description

phpMyAdmin version

5.2.3

Describe the feature

I searched but I don't think it was already asked

Any plans to import/export Excel files (.xlsx / Office Open XML)?

Describe the solution

Import / Export XLSX files

Describe the alternatives

From Excel export as ODS or CSV.

But you need to re-export every time you update the table.

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.
