What is HTML table to Excel conversion?
HTML table to Excel conversion identifies one or more table elements in source, extracts rows and cells, and exports an .xls file that Excel can open. It supports table selection, first-row headers, cell whitespace cleanup, and common rowspan and colspan relationships. It is useful for moving price lists, product catalogs, schedules, statistics, and admin data into Excel for editing.

- Choose First row is header when appropriate. Cell trimming standardizes copied values, and the preview shows expanded cells.

Benefits of HTML table to Excel
Multiple table selection
When source contains several tables, select only the table you need without manually removing the others.
Handle merged cells
Common rowspan and colspan values are expanded into a regular grid and filled in the preview for editing and analysis.
Formula injection protection
Values beginning with equals, plus, minus, or at-sign are marked as text to reduce the risk of Excel treating external content as a formula.
Local browser processing
Table parsing and file generation run in the current browser without uploading source. Follow your security policy for sensitive data.

What if no table is detected?
