embedding an excel file within a post.

**Chas** · 18th July 11, 10:52 AM

Hello All,

Does anybody know, is it possible to incorporate an XLSX file into one of these posts?

I have a small Excel file with a lot of information in it, that I would like to incorporate into a post. It would be so much easier to paste it in whole, rather than cutting and pasting and then re-formatting all the information.

So can it be done? I don't see an icon for it.

Regards

Chas

Chas,

I'm sorry but at this time there is no way to embed an operational excel file into a post.

You could of course convert your file to pdf or other graphic format and insert it just as you do a photo. It would not be changable within the post.

Thanks Steve, I'll give the graphic format a try.

I'd likely use the printscreen function, and crop it with something like Paint. Then, it's like any other image.

I found the easiest way was to highlight the data; copy; past into Paint; and them save as a JPEG. This is the final outcome:

Thanks for the help, everyone.

If the Scribd BB code were enabled, it'd allow for a lot of data types to be embedded, including an Excel file: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=172292
