Excel to latex

Post by Noobix Cube »

How does one convert a large array of data in a spread in Excel to a latex table?

On ctan you can find a macro for Excel that can format the data as a LaTeX table.

But since I do not use Excel, I've never tried it, though people say it works well.

Gnumeric has an option to save the spreadsheet as a LaTeX file and also as a table fragment. You can try that.

Is Gnumeric a Linux based package? I am running Windows XP SP3.

You can can use Excel to convert to a csv file, and then use the datatool package.
