Hi GerryZ! Welcome to MBH! ;)

It works out of the box for me.
I've converted your table back to Excel, and then copied and pasted it here.
We do need to have WYSIWYG mode on (top left speed button).
To improve the appearance I've added [M]="class: grid"[/M] (in non-WYSIWYG mode) to get a full grid around the cells.

You need to wrap your data in the table-associated BBCodes...for example the following code:

Code:
[table="width: 500, class: grid"]
[tr]
	[td]NOME[/td]
	[td]INCASSO[/td]
	[td]TOTALE[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
	[td]Anna[/td]
	[td]39[/td]
	[td][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
	[td]Anna[/td]
	[td]48[/td]
	[td][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
	[td]Anna[/td]
	[td]22[/td]
	[td][/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
	[td]Anna[/td]
	[td]37[/td]
	[td]146[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

produces:

NOMEINCASSOTOTALE
Anna39
Anna48
Anna22
Anna37146

However, as I like Serena stated (which I didn't know), if you copy/paste directly from Excel into a vBulletin post where the WYSIWYG editor is being used, the table codes will be created for you. :D

Yes, we are conversing both here and at vBorg about separate issues. :D

In order to get borders, you will have to turn off WYSIWG mode, and edit the BB Code to add [M]="class: grid"[/M] inside the opening TABLE tag. In other words, change:

[m]
[/m]

to:

[m]
[/m]

Yes, a button could be added somewhere that would execute javascript to use regex to make the replacement to add the grid class, or it could be automatically added on preview/submit (but then no one would be able to post tables without grids). :)

Beautiful, Your words are so professional...
I think the best way do to, is your second suggestion and doesn't mutter if no one is no longer able to post table without grids, my forum talk about excel my users will understand the grid
I don't know how you are going to fix the border, but important is tha any user can copy and paste a table with borders from excel to the formu
One more thing I prefere to keep WYSIWYG mode becouse is connected with another MOD( [vBFoster Lite] With Attachments in Quick reply and Advanced Editor ) that i need to keep it because is very important for my users

Thank You fo now and see you later

Related to Importing Excel Table into MHB Forum

What is the process for importing an Excel table into MHB Forum?

The first step is to save your Excel table as a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. Then, log into your MHB Forum account and navigate to the forum where you want to import the table. Click on the "Import" button and select the CSV file from your computer. Follow the prompts to map the columns of your table to the corresponding forum fields. Finally, click on "Import" to complete the process.

Can I import multiple sheets from an Excel workbook into MHB Forum?

Yes, MHB Forum allows you to import multiple sheets from an Excel workbook at once. When selecting the CSV file to import, choose the option to "Select multiple sheets" and then select the sheets you want to import. The columns from each sheet will be mapped separately during the import process.

What happens if there are errors during the import process?

If there are any errors during the import process, MHB Forum will display a message indicating which rows were not imported and the reason for the error. This could be due to missing or invalid data, or if there are duplicate entries in your table. You can make the necessary changes to your CSV file and re-import it.

Can I customize the appearance of the imported table in MHB Forum?

Yes, MHB Forum allows you to customize the appearance of the imported table by using HTML and CSS. You can add headers, adjust the column widths, and format the data to make it visually appealing. You can also add additional formatting options by using plugins or custom code.

What happens to the imported table if I make changes to the original Excel file?

The imported table in MHB Forum is a separate entity from the original Excel file. Any changes made to the original file will not be reflected in the imported table. If you want to update the table in MHB Forum, you will need to re-import the updated file.
