You can copy an Excel sheet into Google Sheets in two ways: by using the copy-paste method or by uploading the Excel file directly. Choose the option that works best for you.
Here's how to copy an Excel sheet to Google Sheets using the copy-paste method:
Ensure your Excel file is open. Then, go to Google Sheets in your browser and open a new or existing spreadsheet where the Excel data will be copied.
Select the cells from your already open Excel file, and copy them by using Ctrl + C (or Cmd + C on Mac).
Go to the Google Sheets file, select the starting cell where you want to paste the data, and press Ctrl + V (or Cmd + V on Mac) to paste. You can then format the data to your liking.
Follow these steps to upload your Excel sheet to Google Sheets:
To upload, click the “New” button in the top left corner of the page, then select “File Upload.” When the file explorer opens, find the Excel file you wish to upload and click “Open.”
Note: If you prefer, upload your Excel file directly to Google Drive by dragging it into the Drive window.
Upload the Excel file to Google Sheets. Note that it will be saved as “.xlsx”. Right-click on it in Google Drive and choose "Open with>Google Sheets" to automatically convert the file.
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that some features in Excel may not fully convert to Google Sheets. This includes the amount of data, complex formulas, macros, and some formatting options. Always double-check your data after conversion to ensure accuracy.
