How to import an excel file into Confluence using Elements Spreadsheet

[#1]

Do you want to make your team collaborate on beautiful spreadsheets by integrating your Excel files directly into your Confluence documents?

Here are a few simple steps on how to do it using Elements Spreadsheet:

1. Go to your Confluence page where you want to import your Excel file and insert the Spreadsheet macro.

2. Then, select "Import file".

3. Click on the "Browse" button to select your Excel document on your computer.

4. Once your file is selected. Click on the "Ok" button to start importing your document.

5. Your document is now fully ready to be edited from your Confluence page in the Spreadsheet editor.

The app fully embraces the Confluence tables look & feel – you can even use Date Pickers and @mentions in your tables.

If you want to see what else you can do with Elements Spreadsheet, be sure to check out our documentation.

Interested in trying the app? You can find our product page right here.

What if someone updates the file itself, rather than through the macro? I imagine the changes will not sync automatically?

Hi @Catherine Snell

True, the file imported into Elements Spreadsheet is not synchronized with the original one. Can you share with us which features you are expecting to retriveve into our app rather than using Excel? We may fill these needs.

Hi @[deleted] ,

I'm hoping to use one of our existing add ons to resolve this scenario: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-keep-the-most-current-Excel-data-on-a-Confluence-page/qaq-p/1895106#M228727

Hi @Catherine Snell

Unfortunately we are not able to synchronize yet, thus we have integrated excel-like features in order to let your modify your Spreadsheet into our macro. If you need more information, you can easily contact directly our team to help you with your use case.

All our Elements Spreadsheets in Confluence have suddenly gone missing from one day to the next? What has happened and how do we get them back?

Hi Vanthika. I don't seem to be able to log on with my Atlassian user. The missing Elements spreadsheets is available as normal for colleagues, but just not for me, if that helps.

I don't see any macro called Spreadsheet or Element Spreadsheet. 

Is this still a thing?
