Need XLSM to CSV Without Uploading a Macro File?
Teams often need the spreadsheet data—not the VBA. WPS Office lets you open the macro workbook locally, then save a clea CSV export for safer sharing.
Systems Reject Macro Workbooks
Pain
SQL, Python, Shopify, and most CRMs import CSV—not .xlsm with VBA projects inside.
WPS Solution
Plain-text CSV is the interchange format those tools already expect.
Macros Should Not Travel With Data
Pain
A shared .xlsm can still carry Enable Content prompts and unwanted automation.
WPS Solution
CSV cannot hold VBA, so the export is values only—keep the original .xlsm if you still need macros.
One Sheet, Not the Whole Workbook
Pain
People expect every tab in one CSV and then wonder why lookups or extra sheets vanished.
WPS Solution
Export the active sheet, then repeat Save As for other tabs—each CSV stays a single table.

Key Features of WPS Office XLSM to CSV
Export macro-enabled Excel workbooks to CSV without paid Excel—open locally, write one sheet of values, and leave VBA behind for safer imports.
Review Your XLSM First Before Exporting to CSV
You should be able to check the sheet first, instead of uploading a macro-enabled workbook to a converter and hoping nothing important gets lost.
- Open .xlsm in WPS Spreadsheet and inspect sheets before you export the active tab to CSV.
- Confirm totals and columns first—CSV will store values, not buttons, charts, or VBA.
- Keep the original .xlsm if macros still matter; share the .csv when a system only needs the table.

Export Clean CSV Data That Other Tools Can Read
When people ask for CSV, they usually want clean rows and columns for import, not formulas, chart objects, or workbook-only features.
- The active sheet’s displayed values write to CSV as comma-separated rows.
- Formulas export as results (a SUM cell becomes the number). Macros and formatting are dropped.
- Re-open the CSV in WPS Spreadsheet if you need to check encoding, then send it to the target app.

FAQ
FAQ about XLSM to CSV Conversion
Yes. CSV is plain text and cannot store VBA. When you convert XLSM to CSV in WPS Spreadsheet, macros, charts, and formatting are left behind, and only the cell values from the active sheet are written to the .csv file.
A CSV file holds one table. To convert a multi-sheet XLSM workbook, open each sheet in WPS Spreadsheet and Save As CSV separately, using the sheet name in the file name so imports stay organized.
No. CSV stores values, not formulas. A cell showing a SUM result exports as that number. Keep the original .xlsm if you still need formulas or macros later.
No. Cell data is stored in the workbook XML. You can skip Enable Content and still Save As CSV. Only enable macros if you trust the sender and need the automation itself.
Yes. WPS Spreadsheet opens .xlsm locally and Save As CSV without a Microsoft Excel license, so confidential workbooks do not need to be uploaded to an online converter.
Choose CSV UTF-8 when WPS Spreadsheet offers it. UTF-8 keeps non-English letters and symbols intact for databases and other apps that expect Unicode.
