How to derive big tables from Excel sheets?

Step 1 - Save your Excel sheet

Save data using the specific CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format. Excel will complain that part of the information will be lost, but you will accept this as a matter of fact.

Step 2 - Open the saved file in atext editor

Use the Notepad to do that, or any text editor you have ready to do the job.

Select all the text and activate the command to copy data in the clipboard.

Step 3 - Copy data in a YACS page

Connect to your favorite YACS server, and create a page. In the edit form place some tags to create a table and to declare CSV data.

[table]
[csv]
<-- paste your CSV data exported from Excel here
[/csv]
[/table]

Paste your data just between these tags, and hit the Submit button to transfer this to your server. Done!
