Data · Excel macro
Your readers explore the workbook without hunting for the file
With the Excel macro the real workbook sits in the page - sheets, formats and formulas intact. Readers look at the numbers where the decision is written down, without finding the file and opening Excel, and you stop pasting screenshots that are out of date the moment the workbook moves on.
Your readers explore the numbers instead of asking you for the file
A pasted screenshot answers only the one question you framed it around, and it is out of date the moment the workbook moves on. This is the spreadsheet: readers scroll it, step between sheets with the tabs along the bottom, click a cell and read its formula in the formula bar - and you stop being the person who emails the file.
Your report arrives with the formatting you signed off
A budget column that arrives as 1234.5 is not the report you built. The
macro re-applies what Excel showed: currency symbols, thousands separators,
percentages, dates and the decimal places you chose. What people read on the page
matches what you signed off in the workbook, down to the cent.
You publish to the whole company without anyone changing a cell
The embed is view-only by design: nobody types into a cell, rewrites a formula or
rearranges your layout from the page. Publish the quarterly workbook to an entire
space and it stays exactly as you left it - while anyone who genuinely needs the raw
file downloads the .xlsx from the macro itself.
You stop re-uploading copies that drift from the original
Point the macro at any modern .xlsx workbook where it already sits - a
page attachment, a URL, Google Drive - or, for the places that need credentials, at
an S3 bucket, an SFTP server or a database connection an admin set up once, so no
secret is ever pasted into a page. Then let the macro size itself to the sheet, or
fix its height, so a large workbook never pushes the rest of your document off
screen.
What the other Excel apps leave you downloading and re-uploading
Confluence's Excel apps - Microsoft Excel+ for Confluence and the rest - get the
workbook from a file attached to the page or, at best, a link you paste. When the
.xlsx that matters lives in an S3 bucket, behind SFTP, in Google Drive
or in a database, none of them can reach it, and somebody on your team downloads and
re-uploads it by hand every time it changes - which is exactly the gap the source
list above closes. Some of them are really spreadsheets of their own, built for
rebuilding the sheet inside Confluence; this macro renders the file you already
have, where it already is. And the connection an admin sets up once for Excel is the
same one every other macro in the pack uses, on the same licence.
