How can Jira Software display an excel spreadsheet better?

[Tom Horton]

Users attach an Excel spreadsheet to a Jira issue but when it's displayed all the formatting is wrong and looks more like a text document. Only two or three columns are displayed on each page.

Do I need to convert the spreadsheet so it is viewable?

Thanks for any tips,

Tom

I usually skip the preview and open the file directly so the layout stays intact. You can also export the sheet as PDF first if you just need a clean view.

Hi Brian!  (Whoops, Tom!) If you download the file and view it in Excel, I'm guessing it displays properly?  

There may be others, but I took a quick view at Atlassian's Jira site (jira.atlassian.com) and found these two issues that seem like your issue.  I would suggest voting for and watching them for future updates.

Hope that helps.
