vim: what the current best practice to work with excel file (xlsx)?

hi guys:
I know this is kind of an "old" topic.
my colleague send me some good forms but unfortunately (as expected) in a MS xlsx file.
I can open it with OOO or even MS-excel2007(via a crossover simulation) smoothly, w/o an issue (I run Ubuntu).
but still I want to conveniently copy/paste from excel into my vim notes.

I tried "save as" from excel into:

format                                 issue
=======================================================================
csv (comma delimited)                 some of my data contains comma
formatted text(space delimited)         hard to align
web page                              hard to render a framed page

is there any known best way to load my excel data into vim today?

thanks!

regards
ping
