Excel to Typst

Excel to Typst moves a finished table from a spreadsheet into a Typst document. It reads the file, escapes every cell, and writes the #table call for you.

Best for

Use it for a clean rectangular table: results, summary statistics, or a comparison grid prepared in a spreadsheet. The first row becomes a bold header.

If the rows are already on your clipboard, CSV to Typst takes pasted text. For a LaTeX document, use Excel to LaTeX. Keep charts and plots as figures.

Convert a sheet

1. Open Excel to Typst, or run /excel-to-typst.
2. Choose an .xlsx, .xls, .csv, or .tsv file.
3. Choose Convert.
4. Check the row and column count in the note under the result.
5. Copy the table or save table.typ, 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 a three-column Typst table. Number columns are right-aligned, text columns left-aligned, and horizontal rules mark the top, the header, and the bottom. Typst needs no extra package for 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 other cells are empty.
• Characters Typst would read as markup are escaped.
• The conversion stays on your device.

Size and layout limits

The sheet may contain up to 10,000 rows and 100 columns, with no more than 2 MB of cell text. Charts, colors, cell styling, formulas, and links between sheets are not reproduced.

To bring a data file into an open Typst document instead, right-click in the editor and choose Table from CSV/XLSX…. That dialog also reads JSON, takes a caption and a label, and can keep the table linked to a copy of the data in the project, so editing the data updates the table on the next compile.
