What About Excel Features?
Our system extracts the raw data from your Excel file:
- Formulas: We read the calculated values
- Multiple sheets: Currently, we process the first sheet
- Formatting: Data is extracted, not visual formatting
- Headers: First row is treated as column headers
This means your Excel file's complex features won't interfere with invoice generation. We focus on the data you need for invoices.
File Size Limits
You can upload Excel files containing up to 2,000 rows of data. Each row becomes one invoice, making it perfect for bulk invoice generation from Excel spreadsheets.
For larger datasets, split your Excel file into multiple batches and process them sequentially.
