 * Hello ,
    During the Export – Import process, I first download the file as csv.
   There is nothing wrong. Then I convert it to xlsx for editing in excel. Then 
   I convert it back to csv but qualified products are not installed during installation.
   Where is the problem?

 * Hi there,
 * Users do often report issues with Excel, so we generally recommend using something
   like Google Sheets or Open Office instead.
 * Something in the conversion back and forth between XLSX seems to break something
   in the formatting/file, or add extra data to the file that messes up the import.
   You could try opening up the CSV file in a text editor, and compare what you 
   see in a CSV file right after it’s exported with what you see in one that has
   been converted to XLSX and back. (I don’t have Excel here, so can’t test it myself)

 * Thank you.
    Can xlsx install directly with customization? So I want to import
   as xlsx instead of csv. Is this possible ?

 * Hi there,
 * There is no built-in functionality for that in the WooCommerce plugin, however
   it looks like it should be possible either via a plugin, or custom code — here
   are some examples:
