How to export a Confluence table to Excel
Simple Tables can expose download controls so readers can take the rendered table data into CSV or Excel-compatible workflows.
Enable table downloads
Edit the Simple Table, open display settings, enable the download action, choose the supported format options, and publish the page.
- Open table settings
- Enable download
- Publish
- Test the file as a page viewer
Check exported values
Confirm how calculated columns, formatted numbers, hidden columns, and filtered rows should appear. Use the documentation and a representative sample before relying on the export for downstream processing.
Choose CSV or Excel
CSV is portable and easy to process. Excel is more convenient for users who want to continue working in a spreadsheet application. Choose based on the next step rather than visual appearance alone.
