Convert qza file to xls or csv

[miguel_lopez]

Hi, I'm trying to export my table frequency file table.qza to xls or csv, I followed this command:

qiime tools export --input-path feature-table.qza --output-path exported-feature-table

but it exports them as a biom file, could someone tell me how to convert my qza file to xls?
thank you very much

Hi @miguel_lopez,

Thanks for reaching out! There isn't a direct way to convert your feature table to .xlsx/.csv within QIIME 2, but @Parikrama_Sapkota's suggested post does describe our best recommendation for going about this. In particular, I'd check out this comment - once you have your BIOM file, you can use the biom convert command (outside of QIIME 2) to convert that file into .csv format.

Hope this helps! Cheers
