Excel to Markdown Table for Notion
Turn any Excel spreadsheet into a Markdown table ready to paste into Notion — entirely in your browser, with no upload and no software to install.
Notion recognises GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) table syntax when you paste it into a page
body. This means you can convert your .xlsx or .xls file to Markdown,
click Copy, and paste it directly into Notion — the pipe-table renders as a formatted table with
no extra steps required.
Unlike most online converters, this tool handles merged cells correctly. When cells span multiple columns or rows in Excel, the value is expanded so the Markdown output has no unexplained blank cells — which would otherwise misalign the table in Notion.
How to paste a Markdown table into Notion
- Convert your Excel file. Upload your
.xlsx,.xls, or.csvfile and click "Convert to Markdown". Click Copy. - Open your Notion page. Place your cursor where you want the table.
- Paste. Press Ctrl/Cmd + V. Notion detects the pipe-table syntax and renders it as a formatted table inline.
If Notion pastes it as plain text, try using the /table slash command to create a simple table block first, then paste the Markdown inside a code block for reference.
