Excel cell metadata and formatting in Parse
Advanced Excel parsing can now preserve source-cell provenance and formatting in parse output.
- Set
advancedOptions.excelIncludeCellMetadatato return source cell references such asB2or merged ranges such asA1:C1; formula cells also include the source formula text. - Set
advancedOptions.excelIncludeCellFormattingto return structured cell formatting such as bold, italic, font color, and background color. - For HTML table output, metadata is also emitted as
data-cellanddata-formulaattributes, and formatting preserves inline cell styles.
Both options are off by default and require advancedOptions.excelParsingMode: "advanced". See the Parse configuration guide for setup details.
