Excel Add-In to Open Parquet Files in Excel Without CSV Conversion

Hey everyone,

Recently I was browsing Google to check for tools that would allow me to open parquet files in Excel and to my surprise, they were almost none.

So the only options were to either have to convert to CSV (and lose half your structure), or use heavy enterprise tools that cost a fortune and take forever to set up.

So seeing as though no one made a simple version of this type of tool, I decided to do it.

So I decided to build my own solution, something simple, fast, and affordable.

Essentially, if you're interested in Parquet files and Excel, it will allow you to:

Opens Parquet files directly in Excel

Lets you explore, filter, and edit data seamlessly

Saves back to Parquet (no conversion, no mess)

Keeps the original schema and data types intact
