With your Excel workbook stored on OneDrive, you can embed it into your blog. Your readers can sort, filter, and calculate data, directly in your post. If you update the workbook in OneDrive, your readers will automatically see the latest in the embedded view.

Embedded Excel workbook  

First, store your workbook in OneDrive. Then, copy the embed code:

  1. Open the OneDrive website, and navigate to your workbook.

  2. Right-click the workbook, select Embed.

    Embed command

  3. In the right pane which opens, select Generate, then copy the iframe source.

  4. Now, in your blog editor, begin writing your post. When you want to embed the workbook, switch to HTML editing and press Ctrl+V to paste the embed code.

    Tips: 

    • Your blog editor might have a trick for switching to HTML editing. In general, use the long route for getting to the text editor. For example, in TypePad, go to Blogs, click the name of your blog, and then click Compose. In WordPress, go to your blog’s dashboard and click Posts > Add New. Also in WordPress, don’t worry that the embed code is an iframe. Ordinarily, WordPress doesn’t allow iframes in posts, but it makes an exception for iframes that host Office for the web.

    • You can edit dimensions, frameborder and scrolling metadata once you've pasted your source.
