Frequently Asked Questions
How does the worksheet become YAML records?
The first row supplies unique field names and each remaining row becomes a mapping in a YAML list. Values are exported as quoted text, with blank cells represented by empty strings.
Are Excel formatting, formulas and extra sheets preserved?
No. Use a single-sheet values-only workbook. Formulas and styled numeric values are rejected to avoid exporting stale results or date serials in place of intended text. Worksheet presentation is not part of YAML.
How do I convert XLSX to YAML?
Select a file up to 5 MB, start the conversion, and download the result. Processing runs locally in your browser. Table conversions support up to 20,000 records, 256 columns and 200,000 cells.
Are my files uploaded?
No. This converter processes the file in a local browser worker. File contents are not sent to the conversion server, and the file is not used to train AI.
How are data types and spreadsheet safety handled?
Table text is kept as text, including leading zeros. XLSX output uses text cells rather than executable formulas. CSV/TSV fields beginning with formula-like characters receive a leading apostrophe for spreadsheet safety; choose XLSX or JSON if you need exact literal values. Nested table values use JSON text rather than ambiguous flattened field names.
Which Excel sheet is converted?
Use a workbook with one worksheet, a distinct header for each column and values rather than formulas. Multi-sheet files and formula cells are rejected rather than silently dropping sheets or relying on stale calculated results. Formatting is not transferred to the text output.
