About the Excel to Jira Converter

This tool converts Excel tables into Jira table markup using the || and | syntax that Jira and Confluence understand. It is perfect for pasting structured data into Jira issues, comments, and documentation pages.

Key Features

  • Excel workbook support: Upload .xlsx or .xls files with one or more sheets.
  • Sheet selection: Choose which worksheet to convert to Jira markup.
  • Header row option: Use the first row as a Jira header row with || separators.
  • Instant Jira markup: Auto-generates Jira table syntax on every change.
  • Copy & download: Copy Jira markup to clipboard or download as a text file.
  • Client-side processing: All work is done in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

How to Convert Excel to Jira Table Markup

  1. Upload your Excel file: Drag and drop a .xlsx / .xls file or click the upload area to select it.
  2. Select the worksheet: Use the sheet dropdown to choose which tab you want to convert.
  3. Configure header option: If your first row contains column names, keep "First row is header" enabled so it becomes a Jira header row.
  4. Review Jira markup: The output panel shows the generated Jira table markup ready to paste.
  5. Copy or download: Copy it to your clipboard or download a text file for later use.

Example: Excel to Jira Table

Example Excel data:

  • Row 1: Task, Assignee, Status
  • Row 2: Setup project, Alice, In Progress
  • Row 3: Write docs, Bob, Done

The generated Jira table markup will look like:

||Task||Assignee||Status||
|Setup project|Alice|In Progress|
|Write docs|Bob|Done|

Paste this directly into a Jira issue description or comment to render a formatted table.

Typical Use Cases

  • Status reports: Convert Excel status or RAID logs into Jira tables.
  • Issue imports: Share bulk issue lists or backlogs with non-technical stakeholders inside Jira.
  • Project documentation: Move spec tables and reference data from Excel into Confluence/Jira pages.
  • Meeting notes: Turn Excel action item lists into readable Jira tables.

FAQ – Excel to Jira Converter

Which part of the Excel file is converted?

Only the selected worksheet is converted. You can switch between sheets using the dropdown to generate different tables.

Does cell formatting (colors, bold) transfer to Jira?

No. Jira tables do not support direct Excel-style formatting. The converter focuses on cell values and layout. You can add Jira formatting (like *bold*) manually after pasting.

Is the Jira markup compatible with both Jira and Confluence?

Yes. The pipe-based table syntax works in classic Jira descriptions, comments, and many Confluence pages that support wiki-style formatting.

Is my spreadsheet uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your Excel data and generated Jira markup stay on your device.
