Importing Excel file to CF

[ImJustKCClone]

I'm trying to do this in a thread, and I'm getting a "too many characters" error. Any suggestions on how to work around this would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Save it as pdf first?
Upload to Google sheets first?

are you trying to import or copy / paste?

have you tried having less characters?

have you tried having less characters?

if I could, I would. It's a spreadsheet of people's autobid picks, so 17 x 32.

copy/paste
I was hoping you would show up.

Side note: obviously I'm not good with the correct terminology.

just @ me next time lol

so it depends on how big of a file you are trying to copy paste. can you show a screen shot?

each cell itself is going to count for characters beyond the actual characters in the cell, because the coding behind the scenes is using characters to format your table when pasted

Even @cowgirl836 never took her Excel sheets this far.

primary_key	field_1	field_2	field_3
101​	a	aa	d
102​	a	ab	d
103​	a	ac	f

I copy / pasted this in to here just fine.

Do you have varied fonts or cell formatting at all?

 

[ImJustKCClone]

No formatting except for the outline grid and grey shading on the column headers. I ended up breaking it into three files and posting it here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/auto-bid-madness-2022.270330/page-3#post-8216214

She has copy and pasted, but now she can't see her screen anymore due to the spreadsheet that is pasted to it.

I just love it when people mock me for trying to learn new things! You're SOOOO helpful...you and cmjh...

Take a screenshot and crop

 

[pourcyne]

Save it as a google or word doc first?

CF is filled with characters...

 

[Lexclone]

This is why I have suck with Lotus1-2-3 all of these years…

I'd put it in a Google Sheet, make it view-only, and paste the link. The forum does not love uploaded files.

If the website crashes today I'll know why.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

I ended up breaking it into three sections and putting each section into a separate post. No website breaking will happen by my hand.
