Hi jo,

Paste Special as HTML; but you need to select and then copy and paste special. I tested it in LibreOffice and worked.

after exporting i need to copy and paste it as special ?

No, actually I just selected a table which was designed via HTML and copied and paste it. Not export.
Maybe you can use some libraries in python to select the text and copy it in the clipboard and then when generating an export, you can convert it into table. But of course it needs development.

oh okay @Hamid thank you for the input , but i need it in xlsx export not copying and pasting as i have 1000s of purchase order and each purchase order field will have one table

Then I definitely recommend to create new fields in the model and with python code convert the HTML structure to csv format or similar and then do the export easily with the new fields.
