I have already spent 3 hours searching and trying WP plugin, but none of them allows me to embed an EDITABLE Excel sheet on WordPress. So I thought of asking you. Maybe you know a WP plugin that works like a charm for this purpose? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure such a thing exists. You could probably find a coder who could write one for you - although that's likely to be expensive. Why not just have a link to a downloadable Excel file?

Thanks

You can publish your Excel spreadsheet as an .html page and upload it to your server.

  I already tried that by saving the sheet as a web page. But it only shows a static page. You can't even enter values into the cells.

Yes, it looks like there's no plugin that does what I am looking for. I ended up putting a download table - for now.

Thanks

There IS such a plugin, for embedding Google Docs. It should work with your Excel file once it's uploaded to Google Drive, if not you can convert it to Google Spreadsheet format.

The plugin:

  I use this plugin on one of the sites I maintain.
  
  Excel to table https://wordpress.org/plugins/excel-to-table/
  
  It's a neat little plugin, and it works
  
  Sorry just re read the post, this plugin will only embed a table, you can't edit the file once it is published.
  
  Thanks

The "Editable" part is tricky here. I don't know if the above suggestions allow you to edit the spreadsheet when you embed it in a page but an editable table (optionally with functions and calculations) can be created by JavaScript on a web page (You can style it with CSS as you wish). I don't know what you are trying to accomplish by having an editable spreadsheet on your page so I can't give specific advice.
