Markdown Table to Excel

Paste a Markdown pipe table and download an Excel .xlsx workbook. The first row is the header, and every later row becomes a spreadsheet row.

The download is one worksheet named Sheet1. .xlsx is the Office Open XML workbook defined by ECMA-376. Excel, Google Sheets, and LibreOffice open it. Microsoft lists it among the file formats Excel supports.

Markdown tables use pipes and a separator row of dashes, as described in the Markdown Guide tables section. This page reads that syntax and writes the cells into a workbook.

Cells are stored as text, so a code like 001 is not shortened into a number. Formula-like text such as =1+1 is stored as text and is not calculated on export.

Steps

Paste a Markdown table into the input panel. Keep the header row and the | --- | separator.
Leave the input format on Markdown and the output format on Excel. The grid shows the parsed cells.
Edit a cell in the Table Editor if a value needs a fix before export.
Click Download to save table.xlsx. Copy is hidden because the workbook is binary.

FAQ

Q: How do I convert a Markdown table to Excel?

Paste the pipe table, keep Excel selected as the output, and click Download. You get a .xlsx file that opens in Excel or Google Sheets.

Q: Does the separator row become a data row?

No. The | --- | line is only the Markdown header separator. It is not written into the workbook.

Q: Is my table uploaded?

No. Parsing and the .xlsx file are built in your browser. The data stays on your device.

Q: Why is there no copy button?

An Excel workbook is binary Office Open XML, not plain text. Use Download to save table.xlsx.
