WiscWeb - Embed a Google Sheet

The following document will walk a user through how to embed a Google Sheet within a WiscWeb webpage.

Before you begin

Use a Shared Drive for setup

We recommend that you set up your Google Sheet within a Shared Drive. Shared Drives accommodate many editors. Also, if the original owner leaves the University, someone can still have access.

Technical support and resources

Google Sheets is covered by the UW-Madison Google Workspace team’s rules and terms of service: UW-Madison Google Workspace - Terms of Service/Use and Privacy Policy.

For help and support using these tools, we recommend the following official Google support documentation:

Step 1: Publish to web

Before you embed your Google Sheet link, you will need to make sure it is set up to publish to the web. 

  1. Open the file in Google Sheet

  2. At the top, click File > Share > Publish to web

    Display of 'publish to web' setting in Google Doc

  3. In the window that appears, keep the Link tab selected 

  4. Choose if you want the entire document shared or just a single web page. Select the Publish button
