    What actually changes

    NUMBERS and XLSX are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    The Numbers document is unpacked and its tables written as Excel worksheets, with formulas mapped where an equivalent function exists.

    Worth knowing first

    Numbers puts multiple independent tables on one canvas sheet; Excel has one grid per sheet. Each table has to be placed somewhere in that grid, so the arrangement changes and any layout that relied on floating tables side by side is rebuilt rather than preserved.

    Why can Excel not open .numbers?

    It is an Apple bundle format with no published specification and no Excel importer.

    Do the charts convert?

    Basic chart types do. Numbers-specific styling and interactive charts do not.
