What this tool does
The converter reads the chosen worksheet range and creates a downloadable TEX file. Special LaTeX characters are escaped so ordinary cell text is safer to compile.
Selected worksheet rows → LaTeX escaping → tabular environment → TEX file
Merged cells, rich formatting, charts, formulas, and automatic column sizing are not recreated in the LaTeX output.
Supported formats
Files are processed locally. XLSX and XLS workbooks are read with SheetJS; CSV and TSV files are parsed with delimiter-aware handling. Advanced Excel features may not be preserved in generated files.
| Format | Support |
|---|---|
| XLSX / XLS | Read workbook values and formulas |
| CSV / TSV | Read delimited rows |
| Output | New downloadable file or report |
Tips for better results
- Work from a backup when the source workbook is important.
- Keep identifiers such as ZIP codes and account codes stored as text.
- Review the bounded preview and downloaded result before replacing any business workflow.
FAQ
How are LaTeX special characters handled?
Characters such as ampersands, percent signs, underscores, braces, and backslashes are escaped in ordinary cell text.
Can the first row become a bold header?
Yes. Keep the selected header-row option and the first exported row is wrapped with textbf commands.
Does the converter reproduce Excel formatting?
No. It exports table values and basic header emphasis, not colors, merged cells, charts, or precise widths.
Can formulas be exported instead of displayed values?
Enable Preserve formulas to place formula text in cells where SheetJS exposes it.
Which LaTeX packages may be needed?
The booktabs option uses top, mid, and bottom rules and therefore expects the booktabs package.
