To get an Excel table into Webflow, there are several recommended options you can choose from. Depending on your preferences and technical knowledge, you can select the method that best suits your needs. Here are three options:

  1. Converting Excel to HTML: One way to get an Excel table into Webflow is by converting it to HTML. You can save the Excel file as a webpage (File > Save As > Web Page), which will generate an HTML file along with a folder containing all the necessary assets. You can then upload the HTML file and the associated assets to Webflow. This method will preserve the formatting, structure, and data of the original Excel table.

  2. Copying and Pasting: If the Excel table is small or simple, you can consider copying and pasting the data directly into Webflow. The initial step is to copy the Excel table cells and open the Webflow Designer. Once inside the Designer, create a new element or select an existing element where you want to place the table. Use the "Paste Text" option to paste the copied cells into the desired location. This method may require some additional formatting adjustments within Webflow to ensure the table looks as desired.

  3. Embedding the Excel table: If you need to maintain the dynamic functionality of the Excel table within Webflow, you can embed the table using Google Sheets. First, upload the Excel file to your Google Drive. Then, open the file in Google Sheets and make any necessary adjustments or formatting changes. Next, publish the Google Sheets document as a web page (File > Publish to the web), and copy the generated embed code. In the Webflow Designer, add an Embed element and paste the code. This method allows you to update the data in the Excel table, and it will automatically reflect the changes on your Webflow site.

These options provide flexibility depending on the complexity, size, and desired functionality of the Excel table. Choose the method that aligns best with your specific requirements and technical expertise.
