Download table as CSV or Excel
Allow users to export table contents as either a CSV or Excel file. Simple Tables adds Download CSV and Download Excel actions so data can be shared or reused outside Confluence when needed.
How to enable
- Edit the table macro or import dialog.
- Enable CSV download and/or Excel download.
- Save or publish the page — the export actions will appear below the table.
Download CSV exports the table as a .csv file.
Download Excel exports the table as a .xlsx file.
What gets exported
- The exported file reflects the current table content.
- Exports are useful for reporting, offline review, and reuse in spreadsheets or other tools.
- CSV is ideal for lightweight data exchange; Excel is better when teams prefer spreadsheet workflows.
Why it matters
Export options reduce manual work and make it easier to move from Confluence to other workflows. Teams can keep a single working table in Confluence and still share the data in the format that best fits their needs.

Context and challenge:
Product teams often need updated lists of SKUs, descriptions, and pricing for other departments. Copying data manually into spreadsheets or external tools adds unnecessary effort.
Solution – CSV and Excel export:
A team member can export the current table as CSV for lightweight data exchange or as Excel for spreadsheet-based review and analysis.
Benefits:
• Format flexibility: choose CSV or Excel depending on the workflow.
• Current snapshot: exports reflect the table as it is shown at export time.
• Less manual work: no need to rebuild the dataset elsewhere.
• Easy sharing: data can be handed off quickly to other teams.
Impact:
Teams can move from maintaining data in Confluence to sharing it externally with much less friction.
