+ham fam Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I would like to copy part of my excel spreadsheet into a new geocache that I am placing. It will be a puzzle cache and excel does a great job with the puzzle, how do I go about this? Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I don't think you can. Now you can insert pictures, so you could screenshot the spreadsheet. But that would only work of it's small, and doesn't have to be interactive. Quote Link to comment
+ham fam Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 But even the pictures need a URL, I don't have a web page to post the picture onto. Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just upload the image to your cache listing gallery like any other image (such as a background). Instructions here: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=59 Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 In addition to uploading a screenshot as described by keystone, you can create a page with Google sheets if you need the user to manipulate the data. If you just want to display it, you can use a HTML table as well. Quote Link to comment

Instructions here: http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=59 The one important step missing from these instructions is that you have to create your cache page first, then come back into to insert your image.

+jellis Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 You can take a snippet and upload it to an image hosting site like Photobucket, that gives you a HMTL that you can copy and paste in the cache page. Quote Link to comment
+KC2WI Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Save the spreadsheet as text, then rework as necessary in notepad and/or use html editor to format or make a table that will display correctly. Quote Link to comment

+Ladybug Kids Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I prefer to host my images on the geocaching.com website and link to them. Other photo hosting sites come and go and the urls change, thereby breaking the links to the photos and rendering a white box with a "x" on the cache page. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Great job, ham fam! Reading that FTF log and studying the area you chose for hiding your cache made me very happy that I was able to help you. There are more elegant solutions, but sometimes the simplest method works just fine. So, go hide more like that. Quote Link to comment
