Is there anyway to import a spreadsheet into my Wiki. I have quite a bit of information I need to place in my WiKi and it is on an excel spreadsheet. Now to have to make up tables for all this will take me forever so is there an easer way of getting this into my WikI beside just adding the spread sheet as a download

Hi Dave You can use <http://area23.brightbyte.de/csv2wp.php>. You have to export as csv from excel though (I think they call it "text"). -- daniel DaveM schrieb:

Another thing you could do to save bytes but still have the data accessible to all readers is to just wrap the CSV in <pre></pre> like we do on http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Taiwan_datums/Test_points .

I used this site with great success....very easy. All you do is copy all the cells you want and paste them into their form, then it regurgitates the code for your wiki. http://excel2wiki.net/ Sandy On 22 Oct 2009 at 8:57, DaveM wrote:
