XLSX

Overview

Excel and CSV spreadsheet processing for scientific supplementary data, experimental results, and datasets. Extracts sheet names, data previews, and shape information from .xlsx, .xls, and .csv files using openpyxl and pandas.

Particularly useful for processing supplementary tables from publications, high-throughput screening results, omics datasets, and any tabular data shared as spreadsheets.
