Frequently Asked Questions
Can I copy and paste an Excel table into Microsoft Loop?
Yes, you can manually copy cells from Excel and paste them into a Loop page. However, this creates a static table, meaning any future changes made in the original Excel file will not reflect in Loop.
Are there any other Microsoft apps that support live Excel embedding?
Yes, you can embed live Excel tables into SharePoint pages or OneNote using the 'File Printout' or 'Spreadsheet' functions, which will update when the source file is modified in Excel for the Web.
What are Loop components and can they replace Excel tables?
Loop components are portable, syncable blocks of content (like lists, simple tables, and tasks) that update in real time across Microsoft 365 apps. While useful for lightweight data tracking, they currently lack the advanced formulas, charting, and data processing capabilities of a full Excel workbook.
