Excel to Text Converter

Extract a spreadsheet as plain, readable text.

Frequently asked questions

Are formulas converted or their results?

Their results. Excel stores both the formula and its last calculated value, and the value is what belongs in exported data. If a cell arrives empty, the workbook was saved without cached results — open and re-save it in Excel.

Is my spreadsheet uploaded?

No. The file is parsed by JavaScript in this tab and never sent anywhere.
