How do I convert an XLSX file to RST?

Upload your .xlsx file, choose output format RST, and click Convert. The tool parses each sheet, converting cell data into RST grid or simple tables. For multiple sheets, each sheet becomes a separate section with its name as a heading. Download the .rst file instantly.

Why should I convert XLSX to RST?

XLSX is a binary spreadsheet format used by Excel; RST is a plain-text markup language for documentation. Converting to RST makes your data readable in any text editor, diffs cleanly in version control, and integrates directly into Sphinx-generated docs or wikis. It reduces file size by removing XML overhead and formatting metadata.

How does the conversion handle formulas, formatting, and merged cells?

Cell values are exported as plain text: numbers, dates, and text are preserved exactly as displayed. Formulas are evaluated and their computed values are exported, not the underlying code. Basic formatting like bold, italics, and colors is ignored, as RST is pure text. Merged cells are expanded with repeated values; multiple sheets become separate RST sections, and tables are generated using RST grid or simple table syntax.
