Hi, Michael,
Some others responded also, so now I have successfully exported to HTML
and opened the files in a spreadsheet. I didn't know that was possible.
Now I do. All's well, and I'm thankful for your help!

How do I export data from reports to csv files or Excel/LibreOffice
Calc files?
a) To use the last (as an example) LibreOffice Calc does NOT require
the files it opens to be "LibreOffice Calc files" << it of course does
prefer the open document version, .ods. >> The same is true of Excel,
etc. You are confusing the actual data format of a file with the file
extension (of present).
b) Have you tried? Have you tried exporting a report from gnucash? It
was exported as .html, yes? And so if you click on that object, it
will use a browser to open it (because you surely have the extension
.html associated to a browser. BUT --- have you tired this? Started
the application LibreOffice and from there the application calc. That
will assume you are doing a new spreadsheet, but see that "open" in
the upper left. That lets you choose what file you want calc to open.
Did you find it was unable to open the .html file? You can then do a
"save as" choosing the type .ods, .xlsx, etc.
