4. Open the downloaded file and check it before you rely on it or share it.

## What you get

You get the table laid out as a PDF page for sharing.

Wide tables may be scaled down to fit the page. Check legibility before sending.

## 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 PDF?

Yes, within a limit. Word, PDF, image PPTX, long image and video exports share 5 successful exports per local day on Free; failed exports do not count and the quota resets the next day. Pro removes the daily quota.

### Can I still copy data out of the table PDF?

The text is selectable, but for reuse a CSV or Excel export is far more reliable.

### 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.
