Hi

Maybe the following is helpful:


(defun org-table-import-xlsx-to-csv-org () 
  (interactive)
  (let* ((source-file  (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name (current-buffer))))
         (xlsx-file (concat source-file ".xlsx"))
         (csv-file (concat source-file ".csv")))
    (org-odt-convert xlsx-file "csv")
    (org-table-import csv-file  nil)))


(defun org-table-import-xlsx-file-to-csv-org (file) 
  (interactive "f")
  (let* ((source-file  (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-file-name (current-buffer))))
         (xlsx-file (concat source-file ".xlsx"))
         (csv-file (concat source-file ".csv")))
    (org-odt-convert file "csv")
    (org-table-import csv-file  nil)))

What is the intended difference between those?

The second one looks odd, because
- xlsx-file is never used
- there doesn't appear to be any link from the CSV output from 'file' 
(presumably in a file whose name is derived from 'file') and the 
'csv-file' content that org then imports (in a file whose name is 
derived from the current buffer).

Regards - Neil

The first one imports a xlsx file, which has the same name as the org
file

Asks for a file.

Right, my bad
