I use this macro available on the main Wikipedia site.

It convert the Excel tables to wiki formating. The output is pretty close to the original excel file. it does transfer font formating and cell colors. There is limitation on the borders but they come from mediaWiki system.

This online convertor does not upload your data so it protects your confident/sensitive data. I've tested it without network connection. It supports different delimiters and direct pasting from Excel.

Answer 5

I use this Excel macro.

You can download the Excel file to your computer, paste your table on it, click the button and paste the formatted text into your wiki.

Here are a few features:

• Export an Excel table to wikimedia format.
• Both horizontally and vertically merged cells are well managed.
• The output text is padded with spaces so that all the columns have the same width (with the exception of the columns with merged cells).
• Bold cells are headers, other cells are normal cells.
