I usually copy and paste cells from Microsoft Excel to Gmail for work, this was was being pasted as an table of text that I could edit.
Then my computer was reformatted because of some issues and now after trying to use it again for work, I tried copying cells from Excel and pasting it in Gmail as usual, but now the cells aren't being pasted as a table, but as an image, like a screenshot of the cells. Could it be a software I had before or something?
Now the only way I can copy and paste cells from Excel is to go through Word, which adds an extra step.
I tried reinstalling MS Office, and it still didn't work, I'm currently using Microsoft Office Home and Student 2019.
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.

The issue is now resolves for me and back to normal. Just happened today after a restart. Hopefully Google got our message loud and clear.
Yes it is ! I too can confirm that!

I tried to figure this one out too, the only way I was able to copy and paste from Excel to Gmail is going through Google Sheets. I'm starting to save all my spreadsheets on Google, although I still highly prefer Excel, and I'm able to copy the cells over to Gmail without it copying as a screenshot. Not sure if anyone already mentioned the same answer, I didn't go through the thread.
Thanks! I had to clear my browsing history, now all is good.!
Hello Jerby,
Can you please try to copy the Excel table data in a Microsoft Word file first? Then copy the Table data from a word document and paste it into the Gmail email body.
I have been facing similar issues for the past week now. But, things have worked for me with this additional step. I hope it solves your problem as well.
Regards,
Dipaka
