Excel workbook (XLSX) with coordinates
XLSX is Microsoft's spreadsheet format. Like CSV, it is not inherently spatial, but coordinate columns make it a practical source for site lists and measurement tables.
- Best used for
- Importing a clean coordinate table directly from Excel without first saving a separate CSV file.
- GeoVerto support
- GeoVerto reads XLSX coordinate tables and can create XLSX table output. It handles the spreadsheet through a CSV-style intermediate representation internally.
Expected structure
Use column names in the first row and one feature per following row. Geometry can come from two coordinate columns or one WKT column. GeoVerto reads and writes the first worksheet.
Coordinate reference system
An XLSX workbook does not identify the CRS of numeric coordinate columns. Select the source CRS explicitly; values that look plausible can still land hundreds of kilometres away when the wrong system is chosen.
Limits to know
- Only the first worksheet participates in conversion.
- Formulas, cell styling, charts and workbook layout are not GIS attributes and do not transfer.
- Coordinates in ordinary cells are not self-describing; the CRS and geometry interpretation come from the import settings.
Supported conversions
Convert from XLSX
- Convert XLSX to KML — Place spreadsheet rows on Google Earth without first exporting and hand-editing a CSV file.
- Convert XLSX to GeoJSON — Turn spreadsheet rows into spatial features while retaining the useful columns as GeoJSON properties.
- Convert XLSX to Shapefile — Create a GIS-ready Shapefile from a coordinate workbook while keeping ordinary worksheet columns as attributes.
Convert to XLSX
- Convert KML to XLSX — Bring Google Earth point data into an Excel workbook for filtering, reporting and exchange with non-GIS colleagues.
