Overview

Convert Excel workbooks to CSV or JSON — or build a styled XLSX from JSON. The spreadsheet glue for no-code and n8n / Make automation: get spreadsheet data into the shape your workflow, API or database expects.

What it does

Excel → JSON or Excel → CSV (all sheets or a chosen one).
JSON → Excel — build a formatted .xlsx from an array of objects.
Uses the header row as keys; handles multiple sheets.

Use cases

Reporting — export workflow/scraper data to a clean Excel file.
Data prep — move between XLSX, CSV and JSON.
