# Build an app with Microsoft Excel

> Turn your spreadsheet into a fully-functional app.

## How it works

You can use your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (xlsx or csv files) as the foundation for an app—without needing to code.

Zite takes the data in your spreadsheet and turns it into a working app with screens, workflows, and logic.

## How to convert your sheet

Click [here](https://www.zite.com/spreadsheet-to-app) and **upload** your Excel or CSV file. You’ll then be taken to the Zite editor, where your app will be automatically created from your spreadsheet.

That's it! Customize the [design](/help/platform/how-to-build/design) and [elements](/help/platform/basics/selective-edits) as you go along.

You can also [limit access](/help/platform/access/authentication) to certain users only if needed.
