    Getting data out of a spreadsheet and into a README, a wiki or an issue is a chore: copy, paste, then add every pipe and the separator row by hand. This tool takes your Excel workbook (.xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb, .xls) and turns it into a ready-made Markdown table in GitHub format that you can paste straight in.

    If the workbook has several worksheets they are merged into ONE Markdown file - each sheet under its own "## SheetName" heading, because Markdown is a document format and you want a single file to paste. By default the first row of each sheet is the header; a toggle turns that off (then neutral columns A, B, C ...). Pipes inside cells are escaped, line breaks inside cells become spaces, and blank rows and empty sheets are skipped.

    Everything runs entirely locally in the browser - your spreadsheet never leaves your device, which for Excel files with names, numbers or internal lists is exactly the point. Honestly framed: a flat Markdown table is produced per sheet. Merged cells, multiple header rows, formulas (only their computed values carry over) or cell formatting are not part of the Markdown table format - for those a real spreadsheet remains the right tool.

    2. Optional: adjust the header toggle.
    3. Download the Markdown table (.md).

    Limitations: Converts Excel worksheets into GitHub-flavoured Markdown tables (pipe tables). Several sheets produce one file, each under a "## SheetName" heading. First row as header (can be turned off -> neutral columns A/B/C). Flat tables only: merged cells, multiple header rows, formulas (values only) or formatting do not exist in the Markdown table format.

    FAQ

    What happens with several worksheets?

    All sheets go into one Markdown file, each under its own "## SheetName" heading - so you have a single document to paste.

    Are formulas carried over?

    Only the computed values end up in the table, not the formulas themselves - the Markdown table format has no formulas.

    What if a sheet has no header?

    Turn off the header toggle; then neutral columns (A, B, C ...) are generated, since a Markdown table always needs a header row.

    Which Excel formats are read?

    .xlsx, .xlsm, .xlsb and the old .xls are read; merged cells and formatting are not represented.

    Is my file uploaded?

    No, the conversion happens entirely locally in the browser; the data never leaves your device.
