To embed a Google Sheet, you need to publish it to the web and then copy the provided embed code to paste onto your website or blog.
Embedding a Google Sheet allows you to display its data directly on a webpage, often in an interactive format, providing a dynamic way to share information without requiring viewers to leave your site or have Google Sheets installed.
Here are the steps to embed your Google Sheet, based on the official process:
Steps to Embed a Google Sheet
Follow these instructions to generate the necessary code for embedding your sheet:
- Open the specific Google Sheet file that you want to embed.
- At the top menu, click File, then hover over Share, and finally select Publish to the web.
- In the window that appears, navigate to the Embed tab.
- Click the Publish button. You may be asked to confirm that you want to publish the selection or the entire document. Confirm as needed.
- Copy the code provided in the text box. This is the HTML
<iframe>code needed for embedding. - Paste this copied code into the HTML of your site or blog page where you want the sheet to appear.
Note: Publishing to the web makes the content visible to anyone with the link, even if they don't have a Google account. Ensure the data is appropriate for public viewing.
What Happens When You Embed?
When you embed a Google Sheet using this method, an interactive version of the sheet is displayed within an iframe on your webpage. You can often configure options like which tabs to show, what range of cells to display, and whether the sheet should update automatically when the original is changed (which it typically does by default).
By following these steps, you can easily integrate live Google Sheet data directly into your online content, enhancing your website or blog with dynamic information.
