Choose an Excel file

WAxtract’s .xlsx export creates text cells for phone numbers. This keeps + prefixes intact and avoids spreadsheet software treating a contact number as a calculation. Other supported columns stay in their own labeled cells.

Import a CSV explicitly

If you have a CSV, use your spreadsheet’s text or CSV import command instead of double-clicking the file. Select the phone-number column and set its data type to text before completing the import. Menu names vary by spreadsheet version.

Do not repair rounded digits by guessing

Changing an already-rounded spreadsheet cell to text does not recover lost digits. Return to the original WAxtract export and import it again with the correct column type.

Pick a format for the next step

Use .xlsx for spreadsheet work, .csv for a compatible table import, .vcf for a compatible address book, or .json for structured data. Only export columns supported by the available session data.
