How to convert EPUB to XLAM

How to Convert an EPUB File to an XLAM Add‑in

KnowledgeBase Epub Converter provides a lightning‑fast, single‑call API that turns any e‑book (.epub) into a ready‑to‑load Excel add‑in (.xlam). Perfect for embedding book content, tables, or navigation directly into Excel dashboards, Power Query, or custom VBA projects.

Why Choose KnowledgeBase Epub Converter for EPUB‑to‑XLAM?

  • Structure‑aware – extracts chapters, tables, and footnotes and packages them as VBA modules, worksheet functions, or custom ribbons inside the XLAM.
  • Unicode‑safe – all characters, including RTL scripts and emojis, survive the round‑trip.
  • Zero‑install – no Office, Calibre, or external binaries required; just a .NET 6+ library.
  • Cross‑platform – runs on Windows, macOS and Linux (the generated XLAM works on any Windows Excel).
  • Highly configurable – choose how content is mapped (sheets, named ranges, or VBA procedures) and set the add‑in’s UI layout.

Getting Started

Add the Sheetize NuGet package and invoke EpubConverter.Process.

Sample C# Code

csharp using Sheetize; var load = new EpubLoadOptions { // Path to the source EPUB file InputFile = @"C:\Books\FinanceGuide.epub" }; var save = new SaveOptions { // Destination XLAM file (Excel add‑in) OutputPath = @"C:\AddIns\FinanceGuide.xlam", // Optional: map each chapter to a worksheet MapChaptersToSheets = true, // Optional: generate a custom ribbon tab CreateRibbon = true, }; EpubConverter.Process(load, save);

Best Practices

  1. Validate the EPUB first – a corrupted file may truncate the add‑in; use an EPUB validator tool.
  2. Review the generated XLAM – open it in Excel, check that worksheets, ranges, and any generated VBA code appear as expected.
  3. Sign the add‑in – if you plan to distribute it inside an organization, sign the .xlam with a trusted certificate.
  4. Test on target Excel versions – some newer VBA features may require Excel 2016+.
