Convert Excel to TM

Question

Hi, 
 I have an Excel file, 2 columns, source and target languages, and I need to use it as a TM. How can I do that? I use Trados 2019. 
 Can you explain all the steps? 
 Thanks

 The easiest may be the Glossary Converter... can go directly to an SDLTM with a drag and drop.

Hi MARIA-TERESA ALVAREZ-BENITO 
 Since Jerzy already pointed to two ways, I will point out another one... 
 Using the Glossary Converter, a free app from the SDL Appstore, you select "Sdl TM" as output format, drop the file on it and the job is done: 
 
 Select target format: 
 
 Select the direction of the TM: 
 
 Job done: 
 
 It really is that simple. Jerzy's solutions work just as well, but Olifant is the most tricky of the three mentioned here I would say.

Many solutions. The easiest would be using the bilingual Excel file type, confirming all segments and updating the TM. This way each corresponding pair of cells will be a TU in TM. 
 You can also store the file as tab delimited text, use Olifant to create a new TMX, place the txt there, store and use this for creating a TM. 
 Otherwise you can also separate the columns in two Excel files and align these.
