Use GroupDocs.Markdown to convert XLSX and other spreadsheet files to Markdown tables. You can control how many columns and rows are included using spreadsheet-specific options.
The simplest way to convert a spreadsheet file:
import os
from groupdocs.markdown import License, MarkdownConverter
def export_spreadsheet_to_markdown():
"""Convert an Excel spreadsheet to Markdown using the static one-liner API."""
# Step 1: Apply the license (optional for evaluation)
if os.path.exists("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic"):
License.set_("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic")
# Step 2: Convert the spreadsheet directly to a Markdown file
MarkdownConverter.to_file("cost-analysis.xlsx", "export-spreadsheet-static.md")
if __name__ == "__main__":
export_spreadsheet_to_markdown()
cost-analysis.xlsx is sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.

For more control, use the instance API. The ConvertOptions class provides spreadsheet-specific properties such as max_columns and max_rows to limit the size of the exported tables:
import os
from groupdocs.markdown import License, MarkdownConverter, ConvertOptions
def export_spreadsheet_with_options():
"""Convert an Excel spreadsheet to Markdown with column/row limits and heading offset."""
# Step 1: Apply the license (optional for evaluation)
if os.path.exists("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic"):
License.set_("GroupDocs.Markdown.lic")
# Step 2: Open the spreadsheet with a context manager
with MarkdownConverter("cost-analysis.xlsx") as converter:
# Step 3: Configure spreadsheet-specific conversion options
options = ConvertOptions()
options.max_columns = 10 # limit to first 10 columns
options.max_rows = 100 # limit to first 100 data rows per sheet
options.heading_level_offset = 1 # shift headings down one level
# Step 4: Convert and save the Markdown output
converter.convert("export-spreadsheet-instance.md", convert_options=options)
if __name__ == "__main__":
export_spreadsheet_with_options()
