Clipboard Issues on macOS

If you notice missing special characters or the clipboard is empty after copying data on macOS:

Why does this happen?

• When exporting to the clipboard on macOS, XLPrompt removes special characters by design. This is to prevent errors with the macOS clipboard, which does not handle these characters well.

• If you copy a very large range, the clipboard may be empty. This is a limitation of macOS.

What to do:

• Use “Write to File”: Switch the output mode to File to save your data as a JSON file instead of copying to clipboard. This keeps all characters and works with large datasets.

• Note: On macOS, “Write to File” is available in the free version.
