Overview

Supported board types and exported Excel formats

Exported Excel Cleaner for monday.com processes Excel spreadsheets exported from monday.com boards and converts them into multiple formats. The app currently supports specific Excel export formats from monday.com. Newly introduced formats may not be supported immediately, as they must first be evaluated, implemented, and tested by our development team at Gorilla Apps.

Important

The app is designed to support specific export formats and therefore depends heavily on the Excel file structure provided by monday.com. The team at monday.com may change these formats at any time without prior notice. As a result, we recommend to have an alternative process in place for such events.

Supported boards

Supported monday.com board types

  • Standard monday.com boards with a main table
  • Multi-level "subitem" monday.com boards

Compatibility

Export format changes and compatibility

Since export formats from monday.com may change over time, compatibility updates may occasionally be required. The timeline below documents known format changes and how compatibility was restored.

February 2026

Several users reported that Excel files exported from monday.com could not be converted. Initially, the issue could not be reproduced, as the files provided converted successfully in our test environment. After further investigation, we received a file that reproduced the issue. It turned out that monday.com had introduced a subtle change to the export format, switching from ZIP to ZIP64. This change required an update to the software library used for processing the files. The library was updated and compatibility was restored.

January 2024

The app was launched with support for converting standard monday.com Excel exports. At launch, a valid export was required to contain the monday.com logo in one of the cells of the first row. Files without this marker were rejected.
