What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
The XLSX package properties are parsed and reported as JSON. Sheets, formulas and cell values are read-only and unmodified.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
Does this read my data?
No. It reports the workbook properties, not cell contents.
Why does the creator differ from the last editor?
The creator is whoever first made the file; last-modified-by is whoever saved it most recently. In shared workbooks these are usually different people.
How do I remove these fields?
Use Remove Excel Metadata, which clears them while preserving sheets and formulas.
You might also need.
