FAQ

Which Excel formats does the converter accept?

You can upload both .xlsx and .xls files. For Google Sheets, export to Excel first and then import here.

How does the header option affect the TracWiki table?

When “First row is header” is enabled, the top row is formatted with = around each header cell (||= Header =||) so Trac renders it as a bold header row.

Can I edit the generated Trac markup?

Yes. The Trac wiki markup is fully editable in the output area. You can tweak text, add rows, or combine tables before copying or downloading.

Is my Excel file uploaded to a remote server?

No. All Excel to TracWiki conversion runs locally in your browser. Your file is not sent to any external service, which keeps your data private.

Does this work with all versions of Trac?

The tool generates standard Trac wiki table syntax (|| cell || rows), which works with typical Trac installations and compatible wiki engines.
