Spreadsheets are the backbone of business data, but the .xlsx format doesn’t travel well. Sharing a table means sending a file that needs Excel to open, and embedding data in docs, READMEs, or AI prompts means retyping it by hand.
Converting to Markdown turns each sheet into a clean, portable table. Formulas resolve to their calculated values, every sheet becomes its own section, and any embedded charts or images are described so nothing is silently lost. The output drops straight into documentation, GitHub, or a language model.
