How to paste excel table with formatting into MS-Teams chat?

The question is not how to "copy a table from teams chat into excel"

it is how to "copy a table from excel chat into Teams".
Pay attention.

That's not what the guy asked. He wanted to know how can you copy/paste some excel data with formatting INTO teams not FROM teams.

Bitmap and jpg work to some degree but the person receiving the image of a table cannot easily use the data (ie copy-paste). Many errors are introduced by manually re-typing from an image into another spreadsheet. I cannot believe there isn't a Paste Special option or that the default going from one Microsoft application to another isn't maintaining the full Excel format.

I couldn't agree more. Hey Microsoft ... please add that to the enhancement list.

Hi Everyone
I have tried to copy paste an excel table with formatting into MS-Teams chat, But I was not able to paste it with formatting. It is pasted with table and data only (not pasted with formatting)

You answer would be greatly appreciated!

I know this is crazy way to get this done. Maybe it may help someone who is scratching their heads... so if you copy a table from teams chat into excel, it gets copied over as a single line text rather than a table. I found a hack to get this done.

1. on your teams click on 3 dots on the chat bubble when you hover over it...
2. click on 'share to outlook' and email it to yourself
3. in the email, click reply to all
4. You now have a table and if you hover over it you get a plus sign inside a whitebox, click on it. Ctrl+C
5. Ctrl+V in excel

Voila

(you can thank me later)
