Text Converter

Welcome to the Text Converter Knowledge Base, your one‑stop resource for mastering the seamless transformation of textual data formats—such as CSV, TSV, SQL‑script, DIF, and XML—into rich Excel workbooks. Whether you’re dealing with simple comma‑separated lists or complex relational dumps, our converter automatically parses the source, maps columns to cells, and generates a spreadsheet that preserves data types, headers, and hierarchical structures.

Supported input formats include CSV, TSV, SQL‑Script, DIF, and XML. Each format is detected automatically, allowing you to upload a file without worrying about pre‑processing.

The output can be saved in any of the following Excel‑compatible types: XLSX, XLSB, XLSM, XLTM, XLAM, Excel97‑2003 (XLS), Excel95, SpreadsheetML, and XLT. Choose the format that best fits your downstream tools—whether you need macro support (XLSM, XLTM), binary performance (XLSB), legacy compatibility (Excel97‑2003, Excel95), or template files (XLT).

How to convert:

  1. Upload your text file via the web portal or API.
  2. Select the desired output format from the dropdown menu.
  3. Configure optional settings such as header row detection, custom delimiters, data‑type inference, and sheet naming.
  4. Start the conversion – the engine runs on a secure server, validates the input, and builds the workbook.
  5. Download the generated spreadsheet or have it sent to a storage endpoint (e.g., Dropbox, S3).

Best‑practice tips:

  • Ensure your CSV/TSV files use a consistent delimiter and quote character.
  • For SQL scripts, include only the SELECT statements that produce the result set you want to export.
  • Use the preview feature to verify column mappings before finalizing the conversion.
  • When converting XML, provide an XSD schema or mapping file to guide element‑to‑column translation.

By leveraging the Text Converter, you eliminate manual copy‑paste, reduce formatting errors, and accelerate data‑integration pipelines. Whether you’re feeding analytics platforms, reporting tools, or downstream Excel macros, the Text Converter delivers clean, ready‑to‑use spreadsheets every time.
