Pertaining to display of excel file attached to a page

[Lohit Rangaraju]

Hi, I have an excel file (two worksheets) containing Harvey Balls representation. I have attached the file onto a confluence page and using the "Office Excel Macro" i am trying to get the contents of the excel file to show up.

Though the contents show up, the intended audience have to scroll to the right to view the details. I was expecting the scroll bar to be restricted to the borders of the confluence page, however the displayed excel file exceeds the boundaries of page.

Please advise if there are easier/efficient means to accomplish this.

Hi Lohit!

I understand you have a large spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet content exceeds the width of the page. I did some testing and was able to reproduce this behavior. I played around with it a bit, and found I was able to reduce the scroll bar to the window width when I put the excel macro in a single-cell table.

Here are the steps I took (using Confluence 6.9.1):

1. Open the editor.
2. Insert a single-cell table above the excel macro (change the cell to not be a header if you don't want the gray background).
   
3. Cut and paste the Excel macro into the cell.
   
4. Save the page.
5. And viola! The scroll bar is the actual width of the page!
   

I hope this helps!
