How to Import an Excel File into Notion (2026 Connector Steps)
Got an Excel spreadsheet full of data that you'd love to actually work with inside Notion? This tutorial walks you through the full Excel-to-Notion path, from saving the file in the right format to mapping the columns once it lands in your workspace. No guesswork, no messy data, no broken imports. By the end, you'll have a clean Notion database built directly from your Excel file, ready to sort, rename, and reorganize however you need.
Covered inside:
→ Saving your Excel file as CSV UTF-8 comma delimited so Notion can read it
→ Finding the Import option inside Notion's Settings panel
→ Uploading the CSV and creating a brand new database from it
→ Choosing the workspace or page where your new database will live
→ Mapping CSV headers so each column gets the right property type
→ Renaming the database and fixing column types like text, number, date, or select after import
When you're mapping the headers, which property types do you usually have to fix the most, dates, selects, or numbers? Drop your answer in the comments, curious how others handle it.
