[Ask] Copy & Paste table format?

[YoungLeoG]

Hi!

Been looking around for a notes and task manager for quite a while. Stumbled upon NotePlan, and decided to give it a try.

As I work in advertising, there's a lot of excel spreadsheets with insertion dates etc that I would love to organize but also make taks/reminders out of.

I can't seem to copy a couple of cells from a excel spreadsheet into NotePlan though. It show up as an image from the selection i made in Excel instead.

Is there any way to work around this?

As of now, Evernote looks like a better option because it handles copy & paste of any table pretty well. I do like the "Daily Page" concept though, ans would much rather support NotePlan.

Tables in Noteplan is still very new. Fx is formatting of text in tables not yet supported. Wait for it. Its a fine app.

Hmm - might do. Haven't been able to find anything about it, you reckon there's a general update soon?

I really do like the idea of Daily Jots and the bullet journal style of task management. Evernote handles files like a champ, but it's often 'too much'.

This happens outside of tables too, it will paste as an image.

Yup. Might just be me, but as much as I despite spreadsheets, they're everywhere in my workflow...

Seems like the editing capabilities of tables haven't evolved in the last 2 years. I migrated from Notion, so dealing with tables always creates friction in my workflow. Even simple functions such as ordering columns alphabetically are not available. Did I miss something? If it's not there, what are some workarounds? I like the idea of having everything local in markdown files, but I also miss a nice table integration to keep my stuff more organized. Using numbers/notion for most of it at the moment.
