Can you embed a live Excel file in Confluence Cloud?

Alison Milne

Can the HTML macro be used to do this?

If your Excel is on OneDrive or Sharepoint, you can embed it on a Confluence page.

Just change the render, not inline, not a card but embed.

@Alison Milne Another option: If you're using Power BI, publish the excel spreadsheet to Power BI (Online) and then embed the Power Bi Reports into Confluence Pages via the iFrame macro.

This gives you live data that can be sorted, filtered etc - depending upon the content/format of the data etc.

I'm using this and can highly recommend. Probably not want you are looking for but maybe something for the future?

Hi @Alison Milne,

There are two approaches:

You can use the /excel macro to display an attached Excel file - I haven't worked with that
You can use the /link macro to embed an Excel file which is stored in SharePoint
- When you click on the link in edit mode, you'll probably see the options of displaying the link as:
  - URL
  - Inline
  - Card
- Select Inline or Card, then select the link again and chose Embed
- The caveat is that Excel and Confluence aren't quite old enough to share their toys yet :eyeroll:, so there's no way to tell Excel which tab of the Excel file you want to see on the Confluence page. Oh well.

Hi @Alison Milne,

You may try our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app and its Table Spreadsheet macro.
You’ll be able to import your Excel file into Confluence and then continue working with it right there using all the basic Excel functions.

That's simpler than I thought it would be. Thank you.

Alison Milne

I'll look into this. We're introducing Power BI at the moment. This could be very useful.

Good to know, but not looking to purchase anything at the moment.

Hi @Kelly Arrey

I am also interested in the approach you outlined for Embedding Excel in confluence but I appear to be hitting some sort of permissions issues.

URL, Inline and Link all work fine but as soon as I choose Embed the users including myself are prompted to Log in

Screenshot 2023-11-27 at 19.07.06.png

The link is to SharePoint with access to anyone within the organisation. We are all logged in when we attempt to open.

Any ideas on what ii should try next?

Many thanks,

Andy

Andrew Lord_vpwa9k

The app doesn't work with the new editor. Outdated and ineffective. :-(

Kelly Arrey

@Andrew Lord Hi Andy, beyond my expertise unfortunately. What happens if you click "Sign in"? Perhaps your Confluence admin can help?

:fingers-crossed:
