I have a solution. It's not pretty, but it works.
1 - From Excel, export the table as .CSV (comma-separated values)
2 - Open the file in Word (or another word processor), then do the
following:
- Find and replace all commas (,) with the pipe (|) character
- Find and replace all (^p) with the following string (^p|-^p|),
where ^p is CR-LF (carriage return-line feed, i.e. new line)
3 - copy and paste this into MediaWiki, add the first and last line of the
table format, and you're done
For example, starting with this csv file:
field 1, field 2, field 3
field 4, field 5, field 6
After applying the word processor magic, it becomes:
|field 1| field 2| field 3
|
|field 4| field 5| field 6
Copy and paste into the table format in mediawiki:
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
|field 1| field 2| field 3
|
|field 4| field 5| field 6
|}
