Excel to LaTeX

Excel to LaTeX takes a table that already exists and removes the slowest part of moving it into a paper: escaping every cell and writing the row structure by hand.

Best for

Use it for a clean rectangular data table, summary statistics, a comparison grid, or results prepared in a spreadsheet. The output uses the first row as a bold header and generates LaTeX table source you can edit.

Use Table to LaTeX when you are building a small table from scratch or want to adjust cells visually before copying the code. Keep plots and charts as figures rather than turning them into tables.

Convert a sheet

1. Open Excel to LaTeX, or run /excel-to-latex.
2. Choose an .xlsx, .xls, .csv, or .tsv file.
3. Select Convert.
4. Review the detected row and column count.
5. Copy or save table.tex, then paste it into your document.

A sheet like this:

Model	Accuracy	Time (s)
Baseline	0.81	12.4
Proposed	0.87	10.9

becomes escaped LaTeX with a header row. Add the generated package requirement to your preamble if your document does not already include it.

Spreadsheet behavior

• Oleafly reads the first sheet in a workbook.
• Formula cells use the result cached in the file. Recalculate and save the spreadsheet first if values may be stale.
• A merged range contributes its value from the top-left cell; the remaining cells are empty.
• Special LaTeX characters in cell text are escaped.
• The conversion stays on your device.

Size and layout limits

The imported range may contain up to 10,000 rows and 100 columns, with no more than 2 MB of cell text. Split a larger workbook or export the exact range you need as CSV. Multi-sheet relationships, charts, colors, formulas, and cell styling are not reproduced.

After pasting the table, compile and check width, alignment, significant figures, units, and the caption. A table that is correct in Excel may still be too wide for the journal’s page layout.
