## Quick facts

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Open the data table in Studio so the table is visible, then click its Export control.
3. Choose **Excel** in the list of outputs and set any options shown for it.
4. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## What you get

You get a tab-separated file that opens directly in Excel with each cell in its own column.

This is a table export, not a native .xlsx workbook: there are no formulas or cell styles. Save as .xlsx from Excel if you need a workbook.

## Limits to know before you export

- The table must be visible in the page for the extension to read it.
- This is a table export, not a native .xlsx workbook editor: formulas and cell formatting are not created.
- Check numbers, units and merged cells after export.

## Can NotebookLM export data tables on its own?

Gemini Notebook can send a data table to Google Sheets. It has no direct CSV, Markdown or LaTeX download. Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it free to export NotebookLM data tables to Excel?

Yes. It is a basic format with no daily export quota, no account and no payment card. Free batches are limited to 5 items.

### Why TSV rather than XLSX for tables?

Tab-separated text opens in Excel without an import wizard and avoids problems with commas inside cells.

### Can I open an exported NotebookLM table in Excel?

Yes. Both the CSV and the tab-separated (.tsv) export open in Excel. TSV is the safer choice when cells contain commas.

### Can I export several data tables at once?

Yes. Batch export in Studio can include several tables. Free handles 5 items per batch; Pro removes that limit.
