Tablewright Web Table Cleaner
One-click export of web tables to clean Excel with proper numbers, dates, and footnotes
- Problem
- Copying tables from the web into Excel always needs rework: numbers become text, footnotes mix into cells, merged cells leave blanks, and Chinese units (亿/万) can't be calculated. A V2EX post about an Edge extension for this confirms it's a frequent pain.
- Solution
- Click the extension icon to list and preview all tables on the page; export selected tables to Excel/CSV with currency, percentage, and thousands separators converted to real numbers; Chinese units converted to full numbers; dates standardized; footnotes removed and merged cells filled; paginated table scraping supported.
- Users
- Finance/operations/analysts, students, researchers
- MVP
- Detect and preview all tables on the current page; export to Excel/CSV with number and date cleaning; Chinese unit conversion; footnote removal; merged cell filling
- Revenue
- Free tier exports current page tables with unlimited rows; Pro one-time or subscription unlocks pagination scraping, batch export, and advanced cleaning rules
- Why now
- Browser extensions are cheap to build, table data needs are everywhere, and existing tools handle Chinese formats poorly; indie developers can iterate fast
