Convert your spreadsheet into a tab-delimited text file

A custom icon for Merchant Center Classic article header.

Most spreadsheet programs allow you to export data into a tab-delimited file. Either of the options below will create a file with a name ending in the .txt extension. This is the file that you should submit.

If you're using Google Sheets:

  1. From the File menu, select Download as then select Tab-separated values (.tsv, current sheet). This will download the currently selected sheet as a tab-separated .TSV file, inheriting the name of your spreadsheet. Select the Save as... or Save File As... command from your browser's File menu.
  2. Name your file and make sure that you specify the file type as a Text File (*.txt) if it gives you the option. Click Save.

If you're using Microsoft Excel:

  1. Open the File menu and select the Save as... command.
  2. In the Save as type drop-down box, select the Text (tab-delimited) (*.txt) option.
  3. Select the Save button. If you see warning messages pop up, select the OK or Yes button.
