Frequently Asked Questions About Excel to JSON Converter
Get answers to common questions about Excel to JSON Converter
What Excel file formats are supported?
The converter supports .xlsx files (Excel 2007 and later). Legacy .xls files and password-protected Excel files are not supported. The tool can handle files up to 10MB with up to 50 worksheets.
How are Excel formulas handled during conversion?
The converter extracts formula results rather than the formula expressions themselves. Calculated values from formulas like SUM, VLOOKUP, and others are preserved in the JSON output as their computed values.
What happens to multiple worksheets in an Excel file?
Each worksheet becomes a separate property in the JSON object, with the worksheet name as the key and an array of row objects as the value. This maintains the multi-sheet structure in a structured JSON format.
How does the tool handle headers and data types?
The first row of each worksheet is automatically treated as headers. Data types are preserved where possible - numbers remain numbers, dates are converted to ISO format, and text values are maintained as strings.
Are there any limitations I should know about?
Yes, there are several limitations: maximum 10MB file size, up to 50 worksheets per file, maximum 1 million rows per worksheet, no support for charts/images, and merged cells are treated as individual cells.
Is my Excel data secure during conversion?
Absolutely! All processing happens entirely in your browser using the ExcelJS library. Your Excel files are never uploaded to any server - they remain on your device throughout the entire conversion process.
