How do I convert an XLS file to TEX with LetsConvert?

Upload your XLS spreadsheet, choose TEX as the output format, and click Convert. The tool automatically parses each sheet's rows and columns, generating a LaTeX tabular environment with aligned columns. You can preview the .tex output and download it for use in Overleaf or your local LaTeX distribution.

What is the difference between XLS and TEX, and why would I convert?

XLS is a binary spreadsheet format used by Excel, storing data and formulas in a grid. TEX is a plain-text markup language for typesetting documents, especially in academia. Converting XLS to TEX lets you embed data-driven tables directly into LaTeX documents, ensuring consistent formatting and avoiding manual retyping.

How does XLS to TEX conversion handle formulas, formatting, and merged cells?

The converter preserves numeric and text values, and translates simple formulas into LaTeX expressions or literal values depending on the output style. Cell formatting such as bold headers, alignment, and column widths is mapped to LaTeX column specifiers and commands. Merged cells are expanded with \multicolumn and \multirow where possible; complex conditional formatting or charts are not carried over as they have no TEX equivalent.

Is XLS-TO-TEX free to use?

Yes, XLS-TO-TEX on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.

Is there any software installation required?
