From the reports, it seems that now, instead of the process going as usual, when they actually paste the cells, the result is an image of the cells, instead of the actual cell structure.

Many users are struggling with pasting Excel cells to Gmail

The vast majority of users are describing this as being a Google issue, instead of a Office 365 one. Apparently the problem is still pretty fresh, as until last month, everything was functioning normally. While some of them can still simply copy the Excel cells and paste them as a cellular structure to Gmail, thousands others are still finding it impossible to do so. Playing the blame game won’t help anyone, even though many speculate that this is a Chrome related issue, while others blame the Excel app, or Microsoft. I’ve tried: Rebooting Repairing office via Windows/Apps Settings Saving as & copying from a 97-2003 Workbook file type Pasting as plain text Using different gmail accounts (one company managed the other personal) Some users are convinced that the problem can be avoided if they access Gmail from the Firefox browser, instead of Google Chrome.

How can I paste Excel cells to my Gmail?

Even though Microsoft hasn’t made any answer public yet, some users have found some workarounds for this issue, and shared their solution with others in need. It appears that the most easy bypass for the problem is actually copying the cells, pasting them to a Google sheet first, and then pasting again to Gmail. Other solutions include tweaking some options in your Gmail account, then pasting the cells to a Microsoft Word document, the last step being the actual paste to the Gmail sheet. Also for the moment I noticed coping first to a google sheet and then to Gmail also worked on chrome. Hope this helps as a workaround. After so many reports were coming through constantly, the Google team replied to one of the users which initially flagged the issue. The official response came via email from Google, saying that the matter has been escalated to the responsible departments, and that a notification will be forwarded once its been dealt with.
