Download in Excel format?

[Rohit Miglani]

Can we download some file (eg: table format) in Excel format from confluence?

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

No, its nonsense because the shape of the data is non compatible

Excel holds data as a line-by-line, column-by-column grid.

A wiki page is generally a large block of unstructured (but formatted) text. How would you translate that into a table? One (variable width) row per line? Per sentence? Skip a line on paragraphs? One column per word? Sentence? What happens when you run into blocks of text that are generated differently or tables or images or macros...?
