About the XLSX to JSON

This converter transforms supported XLSX input into JSON. Review the supported scope below, especially when the target format cannot represent all source features.

It is designed for quick file and network calculations without sending the selected file to an application server.

How to use it

  1. Choose the source file in the workbench.
  2. Dates can be set to ISO dates and times, Original Excel date serials. Then select “Convert to JSON.”
  3. Inspect the result. Download the new file when available, or copy the text result. Keep the original until you have verified the converted copy.

Practical example

Start with a known input

Try this sample input:
Use the pre-filled sample values in the workbench.
Select “Convert to JSON” and compare the result with the source before using it elsewhere.

What to know about the result

  • Numbers that cannot be represented safely are rejected. Keep large IDs and high-precision decimals in quotes.
  • Choose a worksheet after selecting a file. Dates can be ISO text or original serials. Formulas use saved results or formula text; recalculation is not performed. Blank row positions are retained.
  • JSON preserves nested objects, arrays, numbers, booleans, and null values, but it requires quoted property names and does not allow comments.
  • XLSX is a workbook format. Choose which worksheet to convert and use the first row as column names where a table structure is required.
