It's possible to copy-paste to word and then run macro - result is a table.
I've checked and it works pretty well. But yes I think .xls, .ppt add-on
would be quite a good thing.

to work quite well. Might be able to 'modify' it a bit to do the same
with xls.
Thanks for the idea

An alternative I've used is to continue to use the spreadsheet so it
will do the calculations but then have either a macro or an extra
workbook that allows you to output the result in wikitext including the
wiki table syntax and then paste it into the wiki, this does rather
depend on the frequency of updating etc needed.
