Is There a Way to Paste a Spreadsheet?

[Asparagus_Prince]

I'd like to share a spreadsheet that I've used for years but when I try to paste it converts to a very general look instead of the format I have it in. And more importantly the cells are jumbled and not where they're supposed to be.

I'm guessing we're not allowed to post personal pics/images because I've also tried to paste it as a screenshot image and nothing happens.

Is there a way to do this?

You can post images. Where are you trying to post it and where are you hosting the content?

is your spreadsheet a google sheet? if so, the forum software will unurl it for you if you just paste a link to the sheet (it has to be publicly accessible obviously).

or you could just enter it as a link instead of pasting in the url so people can get to it but it won't appear inline in your post

to do that, either use the "insert link" option in the editor toolbar or do it longhand using code e.g.

[url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/blahblahblah]check out this sheet[/url]

To VT... I was simply trying to paste an image of my spreadsheet at the bottom of a post.

And to AD... it's an Apple Numbers spreadsheet but I'm sure converting it to a google sheet is something I can look into. Thank you.

Yesterday I briefly posted what I was referring to but deleted it after 1 minute when I saw that it didn't paste. I don't know if you guys can see that, but it required an "explanation" why I was deleting.

it's an Apple Numbers spreadsheet

The site software allows for html tables, but that is really stripped down from any spreadsheet functionality. BL software for the site is set to NOT allow attachments or file uploads. The best you can do is have your file somewhere on the internet, and provide a link to it as Ali has shown.

Same deal. Can't upload an image (file), but you can have it hosted elsehwere and link to it. The tags for that would be [img] screenshotname.jpg [/img]

Reality is the 'reason' for a deletion is part of the base software, but nobody actually reads that unless a staff member with access wants to see what you deleted for whatever reason. Generally, staff doesn't have time to waste on frivilous things like checking deleted posts - if you deleted it, fine, let's move on. Personally, I use the 'reason' to mess with staff. I'll leave them a picture of something silly and give a reason that intrigues them enough to check it out, but it's all in fun ... and still wasting time.
