I already created an excel worksheet that I want to share with others on my team but when I uploaded it the format changed and it is now a word document.  I want to keep the format the same with grid lines etc.  I also want others on the team to be able to input information

Hello Lisa and welcome to the Community!

Being able to use a single tool to manage all of your content can be a great benefit. However, when you run into issues with that content being manipulated from its original format it can be rather frustrating to deal with.

If you are using the Office Excel Macro to view your excel files you should be aware of the following:

A note on the Excel macro

We've received feedback that the Excel macro doesn't meet expectations in some cases. There are some known issues with it right now, which are detailed below. So why are we proceeding with the rollout? We're making infrastructure changes for the overall benefit of Confluence users, but they mean that we can't keep the old Office and PDF macros working much longer. We need to proceed with the rollout so we can move forward with the infrastructure changes that have a much wider impact than this macro.

In saying that, we, of course, genuinely care about every user's experience with Confluence, and always want it to be the best. If you're having real trouble with the new file viewer in the Excel macro, comment on this issue and let us know. There unfortunately isn't a short-term fix, as we do need to move off the old Excel macro, but we'll keep working on a better solution for the Excel macro.

With this stated, we would suggest you post your feedback on the macros functionality within feature request at CONFCLOUD-54876. We would also suggest you vote and watch this feature request to get updates in the future. I will also reference this post within that feature request to ensure your comments are heard.
