How it works

The converter scans the document for GitHub Flavored Markdown tables, meaning a header row followed by a separator row of dashes, and ignores everything else. Inline formatting is removed so cells contain clean values. In the .xlsx file the header row is bold, and each table gets its own sheet when there are several.

Common uses

  • Pulling a comparison table from a README or an AI chat answer into a spreadsheet to sort and chart it.
  • Turning documentation tables into CSV fixtures for tests.
  • Converting tables to JSON for an API mock or config file.

Questions people ask

How do I convert a Markdown table to Excel?
Paste the Markdown (it can contain several tables and other text). Every table is detected; download it as an .xlsx workbook with one sheet per table, or as CSV.
Are numbers kept as numbers?
Yes. Cells like 1,204, 3.5 or -12 are stored as numeric cells so you can sum and sort them in Excel. Text such as prices with currency symbols stays text.
What happens to bold, links and code inside cells?
The Markdown symbols are removed and the plain text is kept: **Done** becomes Done, [docs](url) becomes docs.
Can I paste straight into Google Sheets instead?
Yes. Press “Copy for spreadsheet” and paste into any cell in Google Sheets or Excel; the tab-separated data fills the columns.
Can I get JSON instead?
Yes, choose JSON to get an array of objects keyed by the header row. The reverse is JSON to Markdown.
