The solution, IMO, is to find a utility that takes an XLSX spreadsheet and
converts it into a CSV.

That forces the user to save as CSV. Save them a step (and the
annoying warning of fidelity loss) and just read the XLSX file.

The
import/edit program was a big chunk of code but the formatting simplified
the process

The import/edit program would be quite small and simple if done in
Python or Node.js. This is true whether you want to accept CSV or XLSX
directly.
