How it works: The server divides one Excel source into multiple workbook parts by rows, part count, or worksheets and returns them in a ZIP file.
- This accepts one source workbook, not a multi-file batch upload.
- Row-based modes use the first worksheet; worksheet mode exports each sheet as a separate workbook.

Data Conversion Best Practices
- Always keep backups of your original files before conversion
- Review converted data for completeness before using in production
- Test conversions with sample files before processing large datasets
- Verify data integrity after complex multi-step conversions
- Check special characters, formatting, data types, and structure because they may be represented differently after conversion
- Document your conversion settings if you need to repeat the process
