Grid Export In development
Copies data tables out of web applications and into Excel, Google Sheets, or a CSV file.
Existing table exporters read the HTML <table> tag. Most
business software no longer uses it. Salesforce list views, Workday reports,
admin dashboards and React data grids build tables out of layered
<div> elements, and the large ones only keep the rows you can
currently see — scroll down and the earlier rows are discarded by the page.
That is why the usual tools return an empty file, or the first thirty rows of a
four thousand row report.
Grid Export recognises a table by how it is laid out rather than which tag it uses, follows it as it scrolls, and reassembles the whole thing in the right order. It then cleans up what it finds: currency symbols and thousands separators become real numbers, dates become real dates, footnote markers are dropped.
$14 one-time · not a subscription
A free version copies a single standard table to your clipboard. The paid
version handles scrolling and <div>-based grids, exports to
XLSX, CSV and JSON, and remembers per-site settings.
Not yet released. This page will link to the Chrome Web Store listing on publication. Nothing is for sale here until then.
How it works
- Runs locally. The extension reads the page already open in front of you. Your table data is never transmitted to us or to anyone else, because there is no server to transmit it to.
- Minimal access. It asks for permission to read the current tab when you click the button, and nothing more. It cannot see pages you have not pointed it at.
- Bought once. Payment is handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
