Google-sheets – How to embed a Google spreadsheet (or any kind of tables) in Medium

embedgoogle sheetsmedium

I tried to embed a Google spreadsheet in Medium without success. I could get the post the title but not the data. Knowing that I used the "publish" feature of Google spreadsheet.

If not possible, is there any other tables tool that can do that?

Best Answer

A published Google spreadsheet is an iframe. At this time, Medium does not allow iframes (source).

I think the best you can do to include a table is to

  1. Convert it into text (here's a handy tool for that).
  2. Post this text as a code block: see How to embed code snippets in Medium?

Naturally, this copy-pasting will create a static snapshot of your spreadsheet, unlike embedding which would allow changes to propagate.
