How to Embed a Website in Excel

A spreadsheet grid

Excel has no built-in object for showing a live web page on a worksheet. Web Viewer 2.0 is a content add-in that places a live website on the sheet, next to your data.

To import web data into cells instead, use Data > From Web.

Embed the website

  1. Insert Web Viewer 2.0 on the worksheet. New to add-ins? Follow how to install an Office add-in.
  2. Sign in when Web Viewer asks.
  3. Click www at the top left of the viewer.
  4. Paste the website's link into URL, then click Load.

Drag the viewer's edges to resize it, and move it next to your data.

FAQ

Can I use an iframe in Excel?

Excel has no iframe object. Copy the address inside the iframe's src="..." and load it in Web Viewer.

Why won't a website load?

Some websites block being shown inside other apps. Web Viewer offers an alternative version when one exists. If it doesn't offer one, learn why some websites block embedding.
