Excel (XLSX) converters

XLSX is the workbook format of Microsoft Excel since Excel 2007, also written by LibreOffice, Numbers and Google Sheets. Address lists, sample sites and asset registers often live in a spreadsheet with a latitude and a longitude column, but a spreadsheet is not map data until those columns become points.

What to know about Excel (XLSX)

• A workbook can hold several sheets; each sheet is one table with a header row.
• Cells keep their type: numbers, dates and text, so a postcode like 0150 can keep its leading zero.
• There is no geometry and no coordinate system; coordinates are just numbers in columns.
• The older .xls format (Excel 97-2003) is a different, binary format.
