Microsoft Excel is the universal spreadsheet platform used across every CRE role for lease tracking, rent roll management, CAM reconciliation, and financial modeling. CRE professionals use Excel to build custom lease abstracts, track critical dates, model cash flows, and produce investor reports. While purpose-built property management systems handle transaction processing, Excel remains the default tool for analysis, reporting, and data manipulation across CRE portfolios of every size.
Lextract outputs all 126 extracted lease fields directly to Excel, eliminating the need to manually copy-paste lease data from PDFs. The Excel export uses clean column headers, ISO date formats, and separates rent schedules into a structured table - making it immediately usable for pivot tables, VLOOKUP formulas, and dashboard reports. For teams building or maintaining a master lease tracking spreadsheet, Lextract is the extraction layer that populates it accurately and consistently.
Lextract provides the following export formats compatible with Microsoft Excel:
These are the highest-priority fields Lextract extracts for Microsoft Excel users:
The Excel export contains one tab for the 126 lease fields with a header row and data row, and a second tab for the rent escalation schedule showing each period, effective date, and rent amount. All date fields use ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). Confidence scores are included as a separate column next to each extracted value so you can see at a glance which fields need review.
Yes. The Lextract field names in the Excel export can be mapped to whatever column names your existing spreadsheet uses. For teams with a standardized lease tracking template, the workbook workflow lets you populate multiple leases quickly.
Each escalation period is captured separately: effective date, new base rent, and the percentage or dollar increase. In the Excel export, escalation periods appear in the dedicated rent schedule tab with one row per period. This is the correct structure for forward-looking rent modeling - a single current-rent field is insufficient for leases with annual steps.
