    15 **Import Spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel** is a WordPress plugin that allows you to import live, calculating spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel to your blog or website in WordPress. The plugin is free but requires a paid license for [SpreadsheetConverter](http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com/ "Link to the SpreadsheetConverter web site"), an add-in for Excel that converts the Excel spreadsheet to HTML and the formulas in Excel to JavaScript. The uploaded online spreadsheet is live and looks and feels exactly like in Excel. Now you can use Excel everywhere!
     15**Import Spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel** is a WordPress plugin that allows you to import live, calculating spreadsheets from Microsoft Excel to your blog or website in WordPress. The plugin is free but the calculating web page must have been generated with a paid license for [SpreadsheetConverter](http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com/ "Link to the SpreadsheetConverter web site"), an add-in for Excel that converts the Excel spreadsheet to HTML and the formulas in Excel to JavaScript. The uploaded online spreadsheet is live and looks and feels exactly like in Excel. Now you can use Excel everywhere!

    1717SpreadsheetConverter works like an Excel compiler creating live online spreadsheets in HTML and JavaScript. It is not a simple Excel viewer; the web spreadsheet plugin runs all your formulas in real-time - all the cells and charts are live!

     19You usually need to have **your own WordPress server** to install plugins. It may not be possible to install plugins on WordPress.com or other shared WordPress servers. If you are unable to use this plugin, you can use our [Publish to Cloud](https://www.spreadsheetconverter.com/support/online-help/publish-to-cloud "Link to the Publish to Cloud help page") service instead. It is built into SpreadsheetConverter and uploads the calculator to a cloud server. In most cases, this works just as well.
     20
    1921Note: before you upload a spreadsheet, you must use [the SpreadsheetConverter add-in for Microsoft Excel](http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com/ "Link to the SpreadsheetConverter web site") to convert your spreadsheet to web format. To use this add-in, you must have Microsoft Excel 2007 or later for Windows - and the basic skills to create spreadsheets with it. Prices for unlimited, lifetime licenses for the current version start at $254. There are no extra fees per server, month, page or visitor.
