Frequently asked questions
Which sheet is converted if my Excel file has multiple tabs?▼
By default, the first sheet is converted. You can select a different sheet from a dropdown that appears after loading the file.
Does the conversion preserve formulas?▼
Formulas are converted to their computed values. The CSV format does not support formulas, so you get the result of each formula as a static value.
How are special characters handled?▼
Fields containing commas, quotes, or newlines are automatically quoted in the CSV output per RFC 4180. This ensures the CSV parses correctly in any tool that imports it.
