I have spent many hours trying to find an easy solution for getting Excel spreadsheets into my posts – this is it!! * On the Mac I had to open the .htm file with Script Editor. Very simple cut and paste after that. * [craigmac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craigmac/) * (@craigmac) * [17 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-excel-sheet-without-a-plugin/#post-716354) * Hi rexskies I tried this, works great, except the table ends up with about 5/ 6 ’empty’ lines above & about 2/3 ’empty’lines below. Nothing jumps out at me that would explain this. (HTML rookie) I have Excel 2007. * Any ideas? * Thanks * [malaubli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/malaubli/) * (@malaubli) * [17 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/importing-excel-sheet-without-a-plugin/#post-716374) * Only format the cells you want to use. This will force Excel to ignore all of the other cells in the sheet when you save it in .html mode.
