How to Convert Google Sheet to Excel

Converting a Google Sheet to an Excel file is a straightforward process. First, open the Google Sheets spreadsheet you wish to convert. Click on 'File' in the top-left corner, then hover over 'Download'. In the submenu that appears, select 'Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)'. This action will convert your Google Sheet into an Excel format. Depending on your browser settings, the file will either download automatically or you'll be prompted to choose a download location.

How to Convert Google Form to Excel Sheet

To convert Google Forms data to an Excel sheet, begin by navigating to the 'Responses' tab of your form. Click on the green spreadsheet icon labeled 'Link to Google Sheets' to create a new Google Sheets spreadsheet populated with the form responses. Open this linked Google Sheet, then go to 'File' > 'Download' and select 'Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)' to download the spreadsheet in Excel format.

How to Convert Macro Enabled Excel to Google Sheet

For converting macro-enabled Excel files to Google Sheets, Google Workspace Enterprise Plus customers can utilize the Macro Converter add-on. This add-on helps convert Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code in Excel macros to Apps Script code that works in Google Sheets. To use it, download the add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace, then follow the add-on's instructions for converting your Excel files. This process aids in recreating Excel macros within Google Sheets, facilitating automation and reducing the effort required to convert files.
