Add a table, or paste one from Excel or Google Sheets
Make your page stand out guide 2 of 7 Next: Lay out your page with headings
A table block puts a proper table on your page: prices, opening hours, fixtures, results. Type into a grid, paste a range of cells straight from Excel or Google Sheets, or write it as markdown. It takes your page's colours, with a header row and stripes, and scrolls sideways on a narrow phone rather than squashing.
Before you start
- Pro: tables are one of Pro's page blocks.
- Up to 50 rows and 8 columns per table.
The steps
Add a Table block
In your page's editor, under Quick add, press Table. The row opens with Block set to Table and an empty grid.
Type in the grid, or paste from a spreadsheet
Type into the cells; Enter moves down a row. + Row and + Column add more. To bring in a spreadsheet, select the cells in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers, copy them, click a cell in the grid and paste: the grid fills from that cell. Tick First row is the header for a header row.
The table block's grid: a header row, three rows of prices, + Row and + Column, and Edit as markdown. Or write it as markdown
Press Edit as markdown to see the table as text. Each line is a row, with cells between
|bars. A line of dashes under the first row,|---|---|, makes that row the header. In the dash line,:-:centres a column and--:right-aligns it, handy for prices. Press Edit as a grid to go back.The same table as markdown: the header, a dash line with Serves centred and Price right-aligned, then the rows. Style it and save
On the Style tab, choose the header colour from your theme and switch stripes on or off. Press Save, then drag the table where it belongs, under a heading like Prices.

| Victoria sponge | 12 | £30 |
| **Chocolate** | 16 | £38 |- Outer bars are optional:
Cake | Serves | Priceis the same row. - One dash is enough in the dash line, and the spaces are only for your eyes.
- Without a dash line, the table has no header.
**bold**and*italic*work inside cells. A real|in a cell is written\|.- Short rows are filled with empty cells.
Check it worked
Open your page on your phone: the table is there in your colours, and swipes sideways if it's wide.
If something's different
My paste came in as one long line
Paste into a cell of the grid, not elsewhere on the page. Copy the cells themselves, not a picture or a chart of them.
It says the table is too big
A table can have 50 rows and 8 columns. Copy a smaller range, or split it into two tables under their own headings.
A cell shows `\|`
That's how a real bar is written in the markdown; on your page it shows as |.
Do it with your AI
Paste the figures into your AI and ask "Put this price list on my page as a table under a heading called Prices, prices right-aligned". It writes the markdown and shows you the preview.
Why it's worth it
A price list that people can read on their phone saves you answering the same question twenty times a week, and when prices change you paste the new ones in, without a designer or a PDF.
