FAQPage Schema
How do I extract data from an Excel spreadsheet into TSV format?

To extract data from an Excel spreadsheet into TSV format, the Skill reads your .xlsx workbooks and converts each sheet into tab-separated text. It uses cached formula values and trims empty trailing rows and columns for clean output.

Does converting xlsx to TSV preserve my formula calculation results?

Yes, converting xlsx to TSV preserves calculation results by using cached formula values. The deterministic parsing reads the stored results of your Excel formulas rather than recalculating them during the spreadsheet extraction.

What is the best way to inspect multiple sheets in an Excel workbook quickly?

The best way to inspect multiple sheets in an Excel workbook quickly is converting each sheet into TSV. This lightweight analysis approach extracts cell data directly, allowing you to review and compare workbook tabs without opening the file manually.

Can I extract clean cell data from Excel files without empty trailing rows?

Yes, you can extract clean cell data from Excel files without empty trailing rows. The conversion process applies deterministic workbook reading that automatically trims empty trailing rows and columns, ensuring your TSV output remains clean.

Are there limitations when converting multi-sheet xlsx files to tab-separated text?

A limitation when converting multi-sheet xlsx files to tab-separated text is that it relies on cached formula values. If a workbook lacks cached data from prior calculations, the extracted cell contents may not reflect the expected computed results.
