Comparing the last working build (https://dev.azure.com/pandas-dev/pandas/_build/results?buildId=21675) with the first failing (https://dev.azure.com/pandas-dev/pandas/_build/results?buildId=21689) on master, there is a change in openpyxl version (30.01 -> 3.0.2), which might be the cause.
(also pandoc 2.7.3 -> 2.8, but don't think that can be related)
