Export Smartsheet to .xlsx without the desktop app
Smartsheet's built-in export (File > Export > Export to Microsoft Excel) requires the desktop or a paid plan action. This converter reads your sheet directly via the Smartsheet REST API using a personal access token -- no OAuth, no admin setup, no browser extension. Your token is forwarded to the Smartsheet API through a stateless proxy and is never stored.
Smartsheet to Excel -- frequently asked questions
- Where do I find my Smartsheet API token?
- Click your avatar (top-right in Smartsheet), go to Personal Settings > API Access > Generate new access token. Copy it immediately -- it is shown only once.
- Is my Smartsheet API token safe?
- Your token is used only for the current API request. It passes through a stateless CORS proxy that forwards it to Smartsheet and stores nothing. It is never logged or retained.
- Can I export a Smartsheet sheet by pasting the sheet ID?
- Yes. You can skip the dropdown and paste the sheet ID directly in the Sheet ID field. Find the sheet ID in the Smartsheet URL or via the API.
- What does the .xlsx file contain?
- Column headers are taken from the sheet's column titles. Each row maps cells to columns by column ID, preferring the display value (formatted) over the raw value when both are present.
