Just csv at the moment. Let me know if you still have an issue if you export to csv and try again!

With regards to Excel, many "in the wild" Excel workbooks will contain multiple worksheets, so it's not really practical to export a CSV for each one. Would be worth considering doing this well and supporting workbooks with multiple worksheets (same applies to Libre Office as well).

Can I also suggest you let folks play around without having to create an account (I abandoned at that point so haven't been able to play around), or at least provide a demo account that mops up stuff older than 24 hours.

Thanks for the feedback!

Excel with multiple worksheets is on the roadmap. Wanted to get the leanest solution out first to better gauge interest.

There is a link to a live API on the homepage, and a playground on the API's page which you can use by hitting "Free Token" up top.

The copy and placement of those buttons needs to be cleaned up to be conveyed better.

Many in the wild Excel workbooks will contain formulae as well. You can't export those to a CSV.

Oh sure, I was just talking about workbooks containing multiple sheets with static data.
