Can I adjust the vertical container size of an embedded Excel file?

[Brian Hulse]

I attached the file, edit the page and used "/Excel" to add the document.

The Office Excel macro shows about 12 extra lines after the data  as white space in the container.

Hi @Brian Hulse ,

I don't think that Confluence provides a built-in option to manually adjust the mentioned vertical container or to remove extra space below the embedded Excel file. These are the only parameters you can adjust when inserting the embedded view.

There's a feature request to improve the overall macro experience: CONFCLOUD-74894: Improve office excel macro experience 

Guessing, as a workaround, you could try adjusting the content in your Excel file > resize row heights or do something similar to see if that will 'help' 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

Hi @Brian Hulse— it’d help me recommend the perfect fix if I understood your motivation a bit better:

1. Why hide blank rows?

   • Are they just visual clutter in Confluence, or do they interfere with scrolling/printing?

2. Excel origin

   • Do those empty rows actually exist in your original workbook?

   • Or do they show up only after you import into Confluence’s Excel macro?

3. Use case

   • What are you trying to achieve by removing them—better readability, streamlined filtering, matching a specific report layout?

If the blanks come straight from Excel (maybe as part of a template or leftover formatting), we can tackle that at import. If they only appear in Confluence, there are a couple of ways to filter them out dynamically with Simple Table’s search or grouping features. Let me know the details, and I’ll walk you through the exact steps!
