When will Table to Table support .xlsx files?

[DanielSheehan]

Is there any plan for exporting tables in ArcCatalog from .xlsx files? .xls still work fine. It just slows everything down and not sure how to avoid doing it manually by integrating it with my Python scripts. I wish Microsoft didn't get rid of save to .dbf in Excel.

PS I know GIS data should be in databases not in spreadsheets but so much source data comes in excel.

not out of the box, but they do exist

XlsxWriter 0.8.5 : Python Package Index

openpyxl - A Python library to read/write Excel 2010 xlsx/xlsm files — openpyxl 2.3.5 documentation

plus there are a couple of branches on github

Okay, we're starting to circle (see my previous example). Meeting adjourned.

I try to avoid .xlsx for data unless I really need functionality like big worksheets. If your datasets are that big, you probably should be using a database anyway!

grief... great minds think ... then there are the rest of us, time to change the bifocals

Data Interoperability extension will write XLSX.

Of course it has a cost.
