This is an example of a simple Excel spreadsheet imported via the free TablePress plugin. Here’s some information from the TablePress documentation, so it definitely has limitations:
“TablePress supports Microsoft Excel data formats for import (but no export!) of table data. Note that this support is still experimental, and not all data feature, like data types, are supported or available. Also, TablePress can only import the first worksheet of the Excel file. If you have problems importing tables from XLS or XLSX files, it’s recommend to save these tables in Excel as CSV files and try importing those.”
Problem noted: All blank date fields in the original Excel file were populated with a default date (January 1, 1970), and all other dates were imported with incorrect years. I’m not sure how to prevent this from happening, so I’d say this is not an ideal contender.
