Excel Add In - JSON to CSV Excel Converter
Our powerful JSON to CSV Converter can now import JSON (or XML) directly into your Excel spreadsheet from any internet URL.
One click will automatically convert any JSON URL into tabular format with column headers and populate the worksheet cells with the new data.
A timer can be set up to automatically re-fill the cells periodically. This allows you to effectively set up a live feed of API data.
You can choose to set up the feed in a separate sheet. This allows you to write formulas and create charts based on the live API feed sheet.
The JSON to Excel Converter Add In, is a supplementary feature of the Data.Page Desktop Edition Windows software.
