Your file is opened in an isolated sandbox with no internet access, processed and deleted with it. It is read the way people's spreadsheets really are — headers that are not on row 1, merged cells, totals pasted at the bottom, dates in two formats — and everything that is changed is listed back to you.

Questions

How do I convert Excel to JSON?

Upload the .xlsx and download the .json: one object per row, keyed by the header row.

What if the header is not on row 1?

The header is found even below a title or a logo, and totals rows are left out, the same as in every DataMimi tool.

How are dates and empty cells written?

Dates as ISO dates (2024-03-01), numbers as numbers, and empty cells as null.

My workbook has several sheets — which one is used?

The largest table. The summary says which sheet it came from.
