Is xlsx somewhat like xls (MS Excel Spreadsheet format)? Although
LibreOffice should be able to convert it. It might be even possible to
run it via command line. But I never dealt with that.

Anyway, if you cannot find any solution, *and* you don't want to install
LO, *and* it's only a small number of files, I can offer to do this for you.

Send me an email then.

I use a Unix based operating system, which means I get laid almost as often as I
have to reboot my computer.
