How to use this office tool

  1. Upload an XLSX or XLS workbook.
  2. Select a sheet for preview; the extraction scans all worksheets.
  3. Generate the report, inspect the formula count, and download XLSX.

What this tool does

Inspects workbook cells for formulas and writes their locations and formula text into a new XLSX report.

For every worksheet cell with a formula: record sheet, address, formula, and available stored value.

Formula text is extracted without executing it. Cached results may be missing or outdated until Excel recalculates the source.

Supported formats

Accepts XLSX and XLS. CSV and TSV do not store Excel formulas as workbook formulas. Output is an XLSX report.

InputOutput
XLSX, XLS, CSV, TSV (as applicable)New XLSX file

Tips for better results

  • Recalculate and save the source in Excel when cached results matter.
  • Review external references before sharing the formula report.
  • Use the sheet and address columns to trace findings back to the source.

FAQ

Can this tool extract formulas from every worksheet?

Yes. It scans all parsed worksheets and records each formula with its sheet and cell address.

Does extracting formulas change the source workbook?

No. The source stays unchanged and the tool creates a separate XLSX report.

Are formula results included in the report?

A stored or cached value is included when the parser can access it, but the formula is not recalculated in the browser.

Can formulas be extracted from CSV files?

CSV does not have workbook formula objects. Text beginning with an equals sign is not treated as an Excel formula by this report.

Will named formulas or Power Query expressions appear?

This report focuses on worksheet cell formulas and does not claim full coverage of named formulas, queries, macros, or external workbook logic.
