Table to Excel — For Professionals

Export any table on any webpage to Excel with intelligent table detection

Overview - Table to Excel — For Professionals lets you export tables from any webpage to Excel quickly and reliably. It detects HTML tables and grid-like structures, lets you select exactly the tables you want, and supports exporting to a single worksheet or multiple worksheets — all processed locally in your browser with no data sent anywhere. Why Install - Saves time: skip copy-paste and cleanup; get clean Excel directly. - Accurate exports: preserves rows and columns from complex page layouts. - Professional workflows: multi-worksheet exports keep tables organized by section or title. - Precision: select only the tables you need — avoid noise. - Private by design: no data collection; everything runs on your device. - Flexible UI: hide overlay buttons when you want a clean view; keep background features working. Key Features - Intelligent detection: finds HTML tables and grid-like structures on pages. - Export modes: single worksheet (merged tables with separators) or multiple worksheets (one per table). - Select tables: add and remove tables from a selection set before exporting. - Section-level export: when multiple tables are grouped under a section/heading, export them together in one click. - Clean UI overlay: quick action buttons near tables; optional overlay toggle to hide UI while retaining full functionality. - Live status: selected table counts update in the popup, so you know what will export. - Notifications: success/failure messages help you confirm results. - Smart positioning: overlay buttons avoid overlapping with page content on complex sites. - Auto-scan: optionally watches dynamic pages and picks up newly added tables. - Local-only processing: uses a local Excel generator; no external servers or uploads. How It Works - The extension scans the current page, identifies tables and grouped sections, and adds small overlay buttons beside them: - Export button: quickly export a single table. - Select button: add/remove a table from your selection set for batch export. - Section button: export all tables under a section. - When you export: - Single-worksheet mode merges selected tables into one sheet with clear separators. - Multi-worksheet mode creates one sheet per table, using titles or headings as sheet names. - All Excel files are generated locally in your browser and downloaded immediately. Typical Use Cases - Audits and compliance: export web-based reports and evidence tables for documentation. - Finance and analytics: pull pricing tables, portfolio views, KPI dashboards, and benchmark grids. - Research and data wrangling: capture data tables from articles, academic sites, and dashboards. - QA and operations: archive admin-console tables, logs, and metrics for review. - Procurement and sales: export vendor catalogs, comparison tables, or RFP matrices. Workflow - Install the extension and open a page with tables. - Open the popup (toolbar icon): - Enable Auto-scan if you want dynamic updates. - Choose Selected Export mode: `Single` or `Multiple`. - Toggle UI overlay if you prefer a clean page (you can still export from the popup). - On the page: - Use per-table “Export” or “Select” buttons, or section-level export. - The popup shows the count of selected tables and enables “Export Selected” accordingly. - Export: - Click “Export All” (all detected) or “Export Selected” (only your picks). - Your Excel file downloads with sensible naming and sheet titles. Why It’s Reliable - Detection covers standard HTML tables and common grid-like patterns. - Overlay buttons are positioned to avoid collisions with page elements. - Intersection awareness hides buttons offscreen to keep pages tidy. - Selected count syncs to the popup in real time, preventing accidental empty exports. - Multi-sheet names are sanitized and made unique to meet Excel constraints. Privacy & Permissions - No data collection: the extension does not transmit, log, or sell any personal data. - Local processing: all detection and Excel generation happen on your device. - Permissions: - `activeTab`: interact with the current page to show overlay buttons and export. - `storage`: save your preferences (auto-scan, overlay, selection mode) so they persist between sessions. Performance & Controls - Auto-scan (optional): tracks dynamically added tables on modern sites. - Manual scan: turn off auto-scan for heavy pages and trigger scanning when needed. - UI overlay toggle: hide page buttons while keeping background detection and exports available via the popup. - Debounced updates: scroll and resize events are handled efficiently. Compatibility - Works across most websites with HTML tables or grid-like structures. - Supports both single and multiple worksheet exports optimized for Excel. - Sheet naming is sanitized and deduplicated to respect Excel length and character rules. **Getting Started** - Install Table to Excel — For Professionals from the Chrome Web Store. - Open any page with tables and click the toolbar icon to open the popup. - Choose your preferences: - Auto-scan: on for dynamic pages. - Selected export mode: single or multiple. - UI overlay: show or hide buttons on the page. - Use the on-page buttons (Export, Select, Section Export) or the popup actions (Scan, Export All, Export Selected). - Your Excel file downloads automatically when ready. FAQs - Can I export only certain tables? - Yes. Use the per-table “Select” button and then “Export Selected” in the popup. - What’s the difference between single vs multiple worksheet? - Single merges all selected tables into one sheet with separators. Multiple creates a separate sheet per table. - Does the extension send my data anywhere? - No. Everything runs locally in your browser; no remote servers are used. - Why do some buttons hide when I scroll? - Offscreen buttons are hidden to reduce clutter. They reappear when their table is visible. - The overlay buttons are in my way; can I remove them? - Yes. Toggle off “Show table buttons (UI overlay)” in the popup. You can still export from the popup. - A site changes content after load. Will new tables be detected? - Enable Auto-scan to watch for newly inserted tables. For very heavy pages, turn it off and rescan manually. Support - If a specific site layout causes issues (e.g., nested, virtualized tables), share the URL and a brief description. We’ll investigate detection or positioning adjustments. - Feature ideas (CSV export, column mapping, filters) are welcome via the store listing contact.
