WHAT THIS RESULT MEANS

Using .XLSX files in Canva

Canva can open .XLSX files and supports meaningful editing. Individual file properties can still behave differently, so review the preservation results below.

Recommended Method

Upload or drag the .XLSX file into Canva; Canva opens it in Canva Sheets for viewing and editing. Edit the data or formatting, then download it as .XLSX if needed.

Compatibility Notes

Canva officially supports opening and editing .XLSX files in Canva Sheets, including revising, sorting, formatting, and filtering spreadsheet content. It also supports exporting to .XLSX. Canva does not publish a feature-by-feature fidelity guarantee for imported Excel workbooks on the cited page, so verify important files after import and export.
