  • Excel Binary Workbook (*.xlsb)
  • PDF (*.pdf)
  • Formatted text (space-delimited text file)
  • Tab-delimited text file (*.tsv)
  • JSON (*.json)
  • CSV/DSV (comma- or delimiter-separated values)
    • Choose your own delimiter (e.g., comma, semicolon, pipe |, tilde ~)
    • Set a field encloser (e.g., double quote ")
    • Choose the decimal separator
    • Optionally encode as Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16)

You can also copy the data directly to the clipboard as:

  • Tab-delimited format
  • Space-delimited format

Export options:

  • Export as values only (e.g., 12)
  • Export as formulas (e.g., =3*E6)

Your last used settings are remembered automatically.
