Frequently Asked Questions

What types of text data work best with the converter?
The converter works best with text using consistent delimiters (e.g., commas, tabs) and line breaks for rows. Consistent structure improves results.
Can I convert text with irregular formatting?
Irregular text may require manual cleanup post-conversion. Ensure consistent separators and field counts for best results.
What is the maximum amount of text I can convert at once?
The converter handles large datasets, but over 10,000 rows may slow your browser. Split large datasets for optimal performance.
Will special characters and accents be preserved?
Yes, UTF-8 encoding preserves special characters, accents, and non-Latin scripts like Chinese, Arabic, and Cyrillic.
Can I convert text to Excel on mobile devices?
Yes, the converter is responsive and works on smartphones and tablets with an adjusted interface for smaller screens.
How does the converter handle empty fields or missing data?
Empty fields are detected based on delimiters and converted to empty cells, maintaining column structure.
Is there a way to preview the data before conversion?
The input text is displayed for verification before conversion, but there’s no interactive preview. Check delimiters carefully.
Can I convert text with multiple lines within a single cell?
Line breaks separate rows, so multi-line cell content may need escaping or preprocessing to convert correctly.
Does the converter support fixed-width text data?
Use a space delimiter for fixed-width data or preprocess to add consistent separators before conversion.
Is my data secure when using the Text to Excel converter?
Yes, processing occurs locally in your browser, ensuring your data stays on your device and remains private.
