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.

    123123To upload a spreadsheet to WordPress, you first convert it to web format with an add-in for Excel called [SpreadsheetConverter](http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com/ "Link to the SpreadsheetConverter web site"). Excel and the add-in will be your primary tools when publishing spreadsheets on your website.
    124124
    125 If at this point you just want to test the plugin, you may skip installing the Excel add-in for now and just use the example files that we have provided with the plugin. In that case, please proceed to installing the plugin below.
    126 
    127 If you want to perform the conversion from spreadsheet to web page yourself, we recommend that you install the add-in in Excel before you install our plugin in WordPress:
    128 
    129 1. Verify that you are using a Windows PC with a supported version of Excel, as listed in [the requirements on the download page](http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com/download/ "Link to the SpreadsheetConverter download page") .
    130 1. [Download the Excel add-in](http://www.spreadsheetconverter.com/download/ "Link to the SpreadsheetConverter download page").
    131 1. Install the Excel add-in by running the installation file in a Windows PC.
    132 1. In Excel, open the "Weekly Time Card" example spreadsheet. If you open Excel from the installation wizard, this file opens automatically. Otherwise, use the **Try Examples** section of the SpreadsheetConverter ribbon in Excel to open the "Weekly Time Card" example.
    133 1. Click on the **Start** tab in the example spreadsheet. This starts a small wizard that will show you how to edit a spreadsheet and convert it to a web page. Follow the simple, step-by-step instructions in the example spreadsheet until you have successfully created a web version of it. If you run into any problems in this process, please contact our helpdesk.
    134 1. Congratulations! You have now created a live web calculator! Play with it a while in the browser window to get a feel for how it works and what it does.
    135 1. In Excel, select the **SpreadsheetConverter** ribbon and click on the link in the ribbon to request a 30-day free trial license key.
    136 1. When you get the license key from us, select the SpreadsheetConverter ribbon in Excel and activate the license key.
    137 1. In Excel, select the SpreadsheetConverter ribbon and verify that there is a **WordPress plugin** button in the **Publish** section. If not, please contact our helpdesk.
    138 
    139 Now, you're ready to install the WordPress plugin and upload the converted web page.
     125You should first test the plugin with the example files that come with it. If you like it, you can then install SpreadsheetConverter in Excel and learn how to convert your own spreadsheets for the web.
