Short answer
Yes, you can upload Excel files to your AskTuring Project. AskTuring reads and indexes the text content in your Excel sheets so you can search and ask questions about the data instantly.
Full explanation
AskTuring supports Excel files in both .xlsx and .xls formats. When you upload an Excel file, the platform extracts the readable text and structured data from your worksheets and makes it available for search and AI analysis.
Each worksheet in the Excel file is processed as part of your Index. This means that table headers, rows, and cell values are included in your searchable content, allowing you to query your data using natural language.
If your Excel file contains charts or embedded objects, only the text data will be indexed. Formulas are not executed or recalculated, but the stored results in cells will still appear in search results.
You can upload Excel files to any Project by dragging them into your Index or by selecting Upload Files within a Folder. Once uploaded, the file is processed in seconds, and you can start asking questions such as “What are the top ten clients by revenue?” or “Which months had the highest expenses?”
Tips
Use clear headers in your Excel sheets to make search results more accurate.
Combine Excel files with related Word or PDF documents in the same Index to enhance AI understanding.
Keep file sizes reasonable; very large spreadsheets may take slightly longer to process.
