Why you want to remove the formatting and monday.com logo from Excel spreadsheets

There are a couple of good reasons why you would want to have an unformatted and clean spreadsheet exported from monday.com without any logo or advertisement. Let's take a look at the most obvious ones.

• Share Excel spreadsheets with clients focusing on the content
• Avoid doing advertising for another business while being on a paid plan
• Keep working on raw data in your spreadsheets how it’s meant to be

Option A

Remove the default format and monday.com logo from exported spreadsheets manually

This is the most obvious and direct way to get rid of any default formatting and the monday.com logo of the exported monday.com Excel file. Though doing it manually, is also the most time consuming, and most annoying way. This option can't be recommended.

Pros

• Full control of changes

Cons

• Heavily time consuming
• Additional editing work

Option B

Remove the monday.com formatting and logo from exported Excel files with macros

If you have repetitive tasks in Excel, you can record macros to automate tasks. A macro is a set of actions that can be run as often as needed. This option is way better than cleaning Excel spreadsheet exports manually. But it takes time to create it initially and you are very limited to one specific monday.com board structure, for which the macro is based on.

Pros

• Moderate time consuming once set up
• Semi-automated process and workflow

Cons

• Takes time to create macros
• Limited to specific board structures
• Handling subitems can be painful
