What is a Text to Excel Converter?

A Text to Excel converter transforms simple text into a structured spreadsheet. This is especially useful when you have copied data from emails, chat logs, reports, exports, or web pages and want it quickly organized into rows and columns without manually editing every cell in Excel.

By treating each line as a row and each delimiter (comma, tab, or semicolon) as a column split, this tool helps you go from raw text to a ready-to-use Excel file in a single step. It saves time, reduces copy-paste errors, and gives you a clean starting point for analysis, formatting, and reporting.

How It Works

1. Your input text is split into separate lines. Each non-empty line is treated as a spreadsheet row.
2. Every line is then split into cells using a simple pattern: commas, tabs, or semicolons are used as delimiters between columns.
3. The resulting 2D array (rows and columns) is passed to the xlsx library, which converts it into an in-memory Excel worksheet.
4. A new workbook is created with that sheet (named Sheet1), and a proper .xlsx file is generated fully on the client side.
5. The tool then triggers a download in your browser, saving the Excel file with the file name you chose – ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any compatible spreadsheet app.

How To Use This Text to Excel Tool

1. In the File Name field, enter the name you want for your spreadsheet (without the extension).
2. Paste or type your data into the text area. Put each record on a new line. Use commas, tabs, or semicolons to separate columns within each line.
3. Optionally, add a header row at the top (for example Name,Age,City) so your Excel sheet has labeled columns.
4. Click Download as Excel (.xlsx). The tool will parse your text, build the spreadsheet, and trigger the download.
5. Open the downloaded file in Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet tool and continue formatting, filtering, or analysing as needed.
