this is not a bug report, its a help request, and would best be sent to
the pgsql-general email list.

that said, you don't need to 'change' your excel file to CSV, you just
need to save a copy of it as csv, then import that data into a
postgresql database table.

​If by this, you mean that you want PostgreSQL to be able to directly read
an Excel xlsx file, that would be a enhancement request, not a bug. I
really think it would be simpler, over all, to just use Excel and do a
"save as" to a different file in CSV format yourself, then import that. I
can understand how this could be "inconvenient", but that happens some
times. Or you could write your own code using Perl, R, Python, or maybe
even one of the MS languages such as C# (I don't know C#).
