The Table Agent launched on Qwen (Qianwen) can generate downloadable Excel files directly through conversation. No formulas, no keyboard shortcuts — just state what you need and the table appears.

What Is the Qwen Table Agent

Simply put, it's an AI assistant that understands what you need and automatically generates Excel files. Unlike AIs that only give you "ideas for a table," it outputs an editable, downloadable .xlsx file directly.

It currently supports five core capabilities: generating tables via conversation, generating from photos, file conversion, building tables from web-searched data, and revising tables through multi-turn conversation.

How to Use It

Free on all channels, with the following entry points:

• Web: qianwen.com
• PC client
• Mobile app

Data is synced across all three — a table you didn't finish on your computer can be continued on your phone.

Core Features in Detail

1. Edit Tables in Plain Language

Upload an existing Excel and describe your changes in natural language. For example:

Delete empty rows, swap the weight and unit price columns, calculate the total price; bold and center the headers with a dark blue background and white text; left-align the name column, right-align the number columns; highlight cells with a unit price above 5 yuan in yellow, and totals above 300 yuan in red bold

The Agent edits your original spreadsheet directly and provides a download when finished. The whole process never requires opening Excel or touching a single keyboard shortcut.

Best for: being on a business trip with only your phone, making quick format adjustments, or polishing a report for a colleague.

2. Build Tables with Web-Searched Data

After you make a request, this feature automatically searches the web for relevant data first, then organizes it into a table.

I want to switch to a phone costing around 4000 yuan. Compare the specs of three phones and put them into an Excel spreadsheet

It searches for information, organizes the specs, and generates a complete comparison table covering core parameters like processor, screen, battery, and camera.

Best for: market research, product comparison, and data consolidation.

3. Build Tables Through Multi-Turn Conversation

Refine the table step by step, like chatting:

1. "Make me a 5-day, 4-night Hangzhou itinerary"
2. "Change day 2 to Qiandao Lake"
3. "Make the last day more relaxed"
4. "Add a budget and put it in a table"

The final Excel contains multiple sheets: itinerary, budget breakdown, and things to note, each with structured content.

Best for: project planning, weekly and monthly reports, trip planning, and work retrospectives.

4. Photo/File to Excel

Take a photo or upload an image and it automatically recognizes the content and converts it into a structured table. Supported input types:

• A casually snapped photo of a workout plan
• A printed class schedule
• A crumpled expense form
• A health checkup report
• Business cards and receipts

Best for: organizing paper documents and quickly digitizing handwritten content.

How It Works

The Qwen Table Agent has a Planner inside, and its execution flow is as follows:

1. Receive the request: you describe the table you want in plain language
2. Task planning: the Planner analyzes how many steps are needed and whether web research is required
3. Information retrieval: if external data is needed, it automatically searches the web
4. Code generation: Python code is generated in an isolated sandbox to process the data, tuned specifically for Excel scenarios
5. Render output: once the code finishes executing, a downloadable .xlsx file is generated directly

The whole process runs end to end, with sandbox isolation ensuring security.

Pricing

Free on all channels, including web, PC, and mobile app. No paid membership restrictions.
