Creating LO documents directly would be nice and might have the
advantage to be able to specify some formatting --- which I might
need to do sooner or later.
Formatting is a matter of style, cell styles in this case. Linked
import ranges filled with database data can be prepared with cell
styles (I use document templates for this type of database reports).
The formatting expands/shrinks with the imported data range.
How would I do something like this with CSVs? I guess I'd need some
sort of "overlay spreadsheet" which defines the formatting and is then
being filled with the data from a CSV file. The fields in the CSV
remain the same while the number of rows will vary
As suggested above, if you already had suitable styling configured as
cell styles, it would be very simple to apply these styles to the data
after it was positioned. Alternatively, if you have a document with
space for the data already formatted - which would indeed sensibly be
created from a template - you could add the data without upsetting the
formatting.
The trick here is to use Edit | Paste Special... (or Ctrl+Shift+V)
instead of ordinary Paste. If you paste from elsewhere in the same or
another spreadsheet document, ensure that "Paste all" and Formats are
both *not* ticked in the Paste Special dialogue; if you paste from
another source, select "Unformatted text" in the Paste Special dialogue.
