Window Default Rename Feature

In order to convert HTML to Excel, you don’t always need an external HTML to Excel converter software. You can use the Windows Default Rename Feature for this conversion. This is done by changing the HTML file extension from .html to .xls or .xlsx, using the Rename feature. During my testing, WPS Office and LibreOffice Calc software were able to open the renamed HTML file like a native XLS or XLSX file. However, it is also important that the given HTML file should have a proper table inside it, as normal text and graphics are much harder to read by Excel software.

How to convert HTML to Excel using Windows Default Rename Feature:

Select an HTML file that you want to convert to Excel format.
After that, open the right-click menu and select the Rename feature or just press the F2 key to start renaming the file.
Now, manually change the extension of the HTML file from .html to .xls or .xlsx and press Enter to finish the renaming process.
