Geoprocessing tool that converts a table to a Microsoft Excel file.
The extension of the output file controls the output Excel format. If the extension is .xls, the file format will be Excel Binary File Format. If the extension is .xlsx, the file format will be Office Open XML.
The .xls format has a limitation of 65535 rows and 256 columns.
The output Excel file will contain a single sheet. The name of the sheet will be the same as the file name without .xls or .xlsx.
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Input_Table | The table to be converted to Microsoft Excel. |
| Output_Excel_File | The output Excel file. Specify the format of the Excel file using an .xls or .xlsx file extension. |
| Use_field_alias_as_column_header (Optional) | Specifies how column names in the output are determined. Unchecked—Column headers will be set using the input's field names. This is the default.
