Is it possible to link an Excel document on a Confluence page so that all modifications are seen?

Question

I am trying to link multiple excel pages on a Confluence page. I am trying to see if some changes are made on the Excel files on my desktop if the changes could also be reflected on the documents attached on the Confluence page. I want to avoid to have to reupload the Excel documents every time and rather find a way to override the documents at regular schedule.

Please let me know if possible or if there are other alternatives.

Hi @Ronald Grover ,

Maybe it happens so that your company uses our Table Filter and Charts for Confluence app (you may check for the Table Filter macro in the macrobrowser).

The add-on also provides the Table from CSV macro that allows you to output tables from Google Spreadsheets via URL.

Hope this may help your case.

Since it has been 5 years from this post, are there any updates? This is exactly what I want to do. I want the Confluence page to show 1 tab from a workbook which lives on my computer. This embed needs to automatically update when changes are made, when the confluence page is opened or reloaded.

Soumia,

No problem! For that I would recommend using WebDAV. You'll need to keep the file stored in WebDAV on the server where it is, and you can edit these on Excel. It organizes them in a way that is easy to find and access, unlike the Hierarchical File System that Confluence is using to store page attachments.

Kind Regards,
