Table to Excel, CSV — For Professionals

Export any table to Excel/CSV with smart detection: CSS Grid, ARIA, nested tables, merged cells (7 languages)

Table to Excel, CSV — For Professionals Overview Table to Excel, CSV — For Professionals is the most powerful table export extension available. Export any table from any webpage to Excel (.xlsx) or CSV with intelligent detection that goes far beyond standard HTML tables. It detects CSS Grid layouts, Flexbox tables, ARIA grids, nested tables, and complex structures with colspan/rowspan — all processed locally in your browser with no data sent anywhere. Version 4.0 introduces a cleaner hover-to-show UI — export buttons now appear only when you hover over a table, keeping your browsing experience uncluttered. Why Install 🌍 7 Languages Supported Full localization in English, 中文 (Chinese), Español (Spanish), Français (French), 日本語 (Japanese), Русский (Russian), and Türkçe (Turkish). The entire UI, notifications, and help text adapt to your preferred language. 📊 Proper Excel Cell Merging Tables with colspan and rowspan now export with actual merged cells in Excel — not duplicated text across multiple cells. Your exported data looks exactly like the source table. 🎨 CSS Grid & Flexbox Detection Goes beyond HTML `<table>` elements. Detects and exports modern CSS-based table layouts including: - CSS Grid (`display: grid`) - Flexbox tables (`display: flex`) - ARIA role-based grids (`role="grid"`, `role="table"`) - List-based tables (`<ul>`/`<ol>` styled as grids) - Definition lists (`<dl>/<dt>/<dd>`) 🔗 Rich Content Export Extracts meaningful data from complex table cells: - Hyperlinks: Exported as clickable links in Excel - Images/Avatars: Exported as `[Avatar: A]` or `[Image: alt text]` - Dropdowns: All options captured: `"Selected [Options: A, B, C]"` - Checkboxes: `☑ Yes` or `☐ No` - Progress bars: Percentage values (e.g., `75%`) - Buttons: Labels in brackets (e.g., `[View] [Delete]`) 📋 Nested Table Support When tables contain inner tables, the extension: - Formats nested content with box-drawing characters for readability - Keeps parent and child table data properly separated - Preserves data hierarchy in a single cell 💾 Dual Format Export Export to Excel (.xlsx) or CSV based on your workflow needs. Excel exports support hyperlinks, merged cells, and multi-sheet workbooks. ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts Power-user shortcuts for rapid workflows: - `Ctrl+Shift+E` — Export selected tables - `Ctrl+Shift+X` — Copy selected tables to clipboard - `Esc` — Deselect all tables 👁️ Table Preview Preview any table before exporting.
