1. Upload Excel file to Google Drive

Open your Google Drive. Click New and select File Upload. This will open your computer’s file manager.

Locate your Excel file then click Open. Your Excel file will be uploaded to your Google Drive.

2. Open the Excel file as Google Sheets

Right-click on the file, select Open with, and choose Google Sheets. This will convert your Excel file into a Google Sheets format.

3. Select the Data in Google Sheets

In the Google Sheet, highlight the range of cells that you want to insert into your Google Doc. Right-click on the selected range and choose Copy, or press Ctrl + C (Windows) or Command + C (Mac).

4. Insert the Google Sheet Data into Google Docs

Open the Google Doc where you want to insert the data. Right-click and select Paste, or press Ctrl + V (Windows) or Command + V (Mac).
