    Hi Tobias,
    please excuse me if the problem is already solved, but I searched first 10 sites (of 150) and couldn’t find any answer.
    I’m testing TablePress Version 1.5.1. and want to import a excel table. The content is

    Deckblatt Titel Autor bibliografische Daten
    Das Ende der Ozeane. Warum wir ohne die Meere nicht überleben werden Mojib Latif Herder-Verlag Freiburg 2014 319
    Das Strompreiskomplott Malte Kreutzfeldt Knauer; 2014; 128 S.; ISBN 978-3-426-78673-4
    Das Ende der Ozeane Mojib Latif Herder-Verlag Freiburg 2014 319
    Das Strompreiskomplott Malte Kreutzfeldt Knauer; 2014; 128 S.; ISBN 978-3-426-78673-4
    Warum wir ohne die Meere nicht überleben werden Mojib Latif Herder-Verlag Freiburg 2014 319
    Das Strompreiskomplott Malte Kreutzfeldt Knauer; 2014; 128 S.; ISBN 978-3-426-78673-4

    The result you can see in the link. First I thought the field length “Titel” is limited an only short text can be imported. But I added a new column and inserted a text 984 characters long without any problem. The whole text “Das Ende der Ozeane. Warum wir ohne die Meere nicht überleben werden” I can manually insert into the field “Titel” and it works fine.
    Is this a problem of the importer?

    Thank You

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    I assume that this is simply an issue with the direct Excel import (which is still experimental).
    Can you maybe try to import that table after saving it to a CSV file in Excel? That’s way more robust.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thank you, this is the solution. I know tha direct import is experimental, but hoped, that it would work.

    Hi,

    Good to hear that this helped! I’ll try to make the direct import more robust, but the format is just so complex ??

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
