Excel testing guide

Use sample XLSX files for Excel upload and import tests

XLSX is the standard workbook format used by current versions of Microsoft Excel. These samples contain safe dummy records instead of personal or production data.

What is inside each XLSX sample?

Every file contains one Data worksheet with ID, name, email, company, city, country, amount and date columns. There are no formulas, macros or complex formatting.

Choose 10 or 100 rows for a quick check. Use 1,000 or 5,000 rows when testing larger uploads, import speed or row limits.

Before using a sample

  • ✓Confirm that your application accepts the .xlsx extension.
  • ✓Check that the first row is read as column headings.
  • ✓Verify numbers, text and dates are mapped to the expected fields.
