Markdown table
to Excel

Exporting from a docs repo

Your team stores spec documents or data tables in a GitHub repo as Markdown files. A stakeholder asks for the numbers in a spreadsheet. Paste the table here and hand them a working .xlsx in under a minute, instead of retyping everything.

After scraping or generating data

You used an LLM or a script to generate a comparison table in Markdown format. The output is ready, but your project manager needs it in Excel to add formulas and share with the client. Convert it here without touching the original Markdown source.

Static site data to spreadsheet

You maintain a pricing or feature comparison table in your MDX docs, and someone in finance needs the same data in a spreadsheet to build a report. This saves you from maintaining two copies of the same table in two formats.

Step 1: parse

The tool splits your Markdown input on pipe characters and identifies the header row by the separator line (the row with dashes like |---|). It strips alignment colons and extra whitespace automatically.

Step 2: type detection

Each cell value is checked against a numeric pattern. If the entire column contains numbers, those cells are written to the spreadsheet as numeric values rather than text strings, so Excel formulas like SUM and AVERAGE work on them immediately.

Step 3: generate file

A .xlsx file is assembled in your browser using the SheetJS library and downloaded directly to your machine. No data is sent to any server. Everything runs client-side.

Does the Excel file open in Google Sheets?

Yes. The .xlsx format is supported by Google Sheets, LibreOffice Calc, Apple Numbers, and Microsoft Excel. Upload the downloaded file to Google Drive and open it there, or import it directly via File > Import in Google Sheets.

What happens if my table has merged cells or colspan?

Standard Markdown table syntax does not support merged cells. If your table uses them, the converter treats each pipe-delimited segment as a separate cell, and you will need to merge cells manually in Excel after downloading.

Is my table data sent to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your table content is never uploaded anywhere, which makes it safe to use with internal data, credentials tables, or proprietary information.

Can I convert multiple tables at once?

The tool converts one table per conversion. If your Markdown document has multiple tables, paste each one separately and download a file for each. For batch processing, use a script with a library like xlsx or csv-parse to automate it.
