Posting a spreadsheet

I want to add a spreadsheet to "Boosted Buicks Here" Is there anyway to do this?

 

You'll have to do a screen capture to post it as an image or have the means to convert it to a PDF file. This will also enable others to see the data even if they don't have spreadsheet software.

As Devon said, it's best to use a program like Snag it to capture a screen shot of the spreadsheet, save it as a .jpg, and then host it elsewhere in somthing like photobucket.. and then just post the img. tags on the board here.

That gets you a good size image that appears in your thread, not as an attachment.

That's exactly how I post dyno sheets.

This forum doesn't block HTML so you can stick build a table using HTML code or create one in a spreadsheet and paste in the HTML it generates.

For example:
This simple code creates a basic table (TR means row, TD means column, TH means header for a column):

HTML:

<table border="1">
   <tr>
      <th>Engine</th>
      <th>Power Adder</th>
      <th>Model</th>
      <th>Boost</th>
   </tr>

   <tr>
      <td>455</td>
      <td>Centrifigal</td>
      <td>Vortech YSi</td>
      <td>16</td>
   </tr>

   <tr>
      <td>464</td>
      <td>Roots</td>
      <td>B&M 144</td>
      <td>4</td>
   </tr>

   <tr>
      <td>350</td>
      <td>Turbo</td>
      <td>Turbonetics GT-K</td>
      <td>8</td>
   </tr>
</table>

Produces this:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Engine</th>
<th>Power Adder</th>
<th>Model</th>
<th>Boost</th>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>455</td>
<td>Centrifigal</td>
<td>Vortech YSi</td>
<td>16</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>464</td>
<td>Roots</td>
<td>B&M 144</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>350</td>
<td>Turbo</td>
<td>Turbonetics GT-K</td>
<td>8</td>
</tr>

</table>

OK, I have saved the Excell spreadsheet as .htm file. Not sure how to insert into post.

 

Doug, open the .htm file in a text reader like Notepad. Copy and paste the code into the body of your post just like you would any other post where you type a reply. The board's software will recognize it and show the table.

If you have newer software, you can add a plug-in that adds "save as .pdf" to Excel. Open Office has this built in as well. Windows 7 also has a snipping tool that works great for screenshots.
