From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For Excel there is a PowerShell module called Import-Excel that I use all the time.

I see, nice, but I'm on Linux, so perhaps I need to run power shell there ^^

If you don't want to use PowerShell in Linux, there's also nushell, which is another (non-POSIX) shell that can process Excel files

I forgot where I was posting. (I use both win and Linux pretty heavily.) I have pwsh, let me see if import-excel works on linux and report back.

Appears to work as well as it does on windows. I guess the only downside is learning powershell if you have no previous experience with it.
