Can a spread sheet automatically be e mailed

Yes, it is possible to automatically email a spreadsheet from a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice Calc. Here are a few ways to do it:

Method 1: Using Excel's built-in feature

In Microsoft Excel, you can use the "Mail Merge" feature to send a spreadsheet as an email attachment. Here's how:

  1. Open your spreadsheet and go to the "Data" tab.
  2. Click on "From Other Sources" and then "From Microsoft Query".
  3. Select the range of cells you want to send as an attachment.
  4. Click "Finish" to create a query.
  5. Go back to the "Data" tab and click on "Mail Merge".
  6. Select the query you just created and choose the email recipients.
  7. Click "Send" to send the email with the spreadsheet attachment.

Method 2: Using Google Sheets' built-in feature

In Google Sheets, you can use the "Add-ons" feature to send a spreadsheet as an email attachment. Here's how:

  1. Open your spreadsheet and go to the "Add-ons" menu.
  2. Search for "Email" and install the "Email" add-on.
  3. Click on the "Email" add-on and select the range of cells you want to send as an attachment.
  4. Enter the email recipients and any additional message you want to include.
  5. Click "Send" to send the email with the spreadsheet attachment.

Method 3: Using a script or macro

You can also use a script or macro to automate the process of sending a spreadsheet as an email attachment. Here's an example of how you can do it in Google Sheets using Apps Script:

  1. Open your spreadsheet and go to the "Tools" menu.
  2. Select "Script editor" to open the Apps Script editor.
  3. Create a new script by clicking on the "Create" button.
  4. Write the following code to send the spreadsheet as an email attachment:
    
function sendSpreadsheet() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
var attachment = sheet.getBlob();
var subject = "Spreadsheet attachment";
var body = "Here is the spreadsheet attachment";
var recipients = ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"];

var options = { from: "[email protected]", to: recipients, subject: subject, body: body, attachments: [attachment] };

MailApp.sendEmail(options); }


5. Save the script and run it by clicking on the "Run" button.

**Method 4: Using a third-party add-on**

There are also third-party add-ons available that can help you send a spreadsheet as an email attachment. For example, you can use the "Email" add-on in Google Sheets or the "Send Email" add-on in Microsoft Excel.
