General ⇒ Import an Excel table to LaTeX

[erik_dragør]

Does anybody know how to import a table from excel into latex?

[aeelmn]

What I usually do is to insert columns with &'s between each column in the Excel table and a column with \\ in the end and then just copy paste the whole thing into a tabular environment. Maybe there's a better way, but this works fine for me.

You have 3 packages :
-- excel2latex (conversion up to excel 97);
-- xl2latex (excel 97 and above);
-- exceltex which imports excel data.
Any details (location, distribution,...) to be found in the TeX Catalogue On Line.

I have used an openoffice macro which converts the selection to latex. There is a similar one for excel also. It does a pretty good job with fonts, lines, colors etc.
