I want to import some data from excel which is in table form (raw from that it not formatted) and I want to import into a longtable with the appropriate formatting (if indeed it can be done in one step) what is the easiest way to do this?

  • I would venture to guess your best bet is to get the Excel data in .csv form, and then run an external script (in Python, C, whatever) that translates it into a LaTeX table. As for the formatting, that might be harder, since .csv doesn't have a single standard. What sort of formatting do you want to keep (i.e. bold words, centering, color...)? – Jānis Lazovskis Feb 03 '14 at 19:11

    @Bazman the problem is that such tools are quite a problem. The linked question lists some tools for Excel->tabular, which should not be really different from Excel->longtable since tabular and longtable differ only by the headers. – yo' Feb 03 '14 at 19:36
