Importing Excel or Other Data Tables

April 8th, 2014, 2:33 am

Is there an easy way to import data tables that will preserve columnar formatting and does not entail making an image, uploading it elsewhere, and inserting that image into a post on the forum?If the answer is, "Use the LaTeX functionality that is already here,"then fine.Thank you.

there's probably a better/easier way to do it, but in latex \begin{array}{|l|l|l|}etc will workand there's a million and one sites out there that will convert excel to latex online
