What happens to your file
The sheet is read into a Markdown table first, then pandoc writes that table out as DOCX. Routing through Markdown is what lets a spreadsheet reach document formats LibreOffice will not export a sheet to directly.
Settings this conversion runs with
| Path | XLSX → Markdown table → DOCX |
|---|---|
| Engine | pandoc |
What changes
- Formulas are not carried across — their computed values are. Charts, conditional formatting, and cell colours do not survive the Markdown step.
- Very wide sheets become very wide tables. Check the page orientation on the output before printing it.
