Excel to CSV

Convert an Excel spreadsheet into a plain CSV file, the simplest, most universally compatible format for tabular data. Useful for importing data into another system, a database, or a script that expects CSV rather than a binary Excel file.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to multiple sheets?

The first sheet in the workbook is exported. To convert other sheets, use the Excel Splitter first, then convert each split file individually.

Are formulas preserved?

No. CSV has no concept of formulas, so cells are exported as their calculated values.

What happens to cell formatting and colours?

CSV is plain text only, so formatting, colours, and styles are not preserved, only the raw data.
