2. DocToMD extracts readable sheet data and formats table-like content as Markdown where possible.
3. Review long tables, multiple sheets, formulas, and merged cells because they may need manual cleanup.

## Common Uses

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can Excel be converted to Markdown tables?

Yes. Spreadsheet rows and columns can be converted into Markdown table syntax.

### Can I convert XLSX to an .md file?

Yes. Upload an XLSX or XLS file, convert it to Markdown, then copy the table output or download it as an .md file.

### Does Excel to Markdown support multiple sheets?

Multiple sheets can be extracted, but very large workbooks may produce lengthy output that needs cleanup.

### Are formulas preserved in Markdown?

Formulas may appear as calculated values or text depending on the source file. Markdown cannot preserve spreadsheet formulas as working spreadsheet logic.

### Do charts and pivot tables convert to Markdown?

Charts and pivot tables are visual spreadsheet features, so they usually need manual summary or cleanup after conversion.

### Can I use the output in GitHub?

Yes. Markdown tables work well in GitHub README files, issues, documentation, and many Markdown editors.

### Are uploaded files stored?

Files are processed for conversion and temporary files are removed after processing. Avoid uploading password-protected or highly sensitive files unless you are comfortable processing them through the service.
