Convert Excel to Markdown for README

Turn spreadsheet tables into Markdown pipe tables for GitHub README, docs sites, and wikis.

Why Markdown tables in README

README files render Markdown natively on GitHub and GitLab. Converting Excel avoids manual pipe-table typing.

Best source format

Use a simple header row and plain values. Merge cells may not map cleanly to Markdown.

Download and paste

Convert online, download .md, then paste into README or docs repo.

Sample Markdown output

| Name  | Score |
| ----- | ----- |
| Alice | 95    |
| Bob   | 88    |
