I am working on a flyer which contains a class schedule of 15 items, dates, times and fees. I created the table in Excel, but can't figure out how to import it into my flyer as is. I did save it from Excel into a graphics collection, but when I "placed" it in the flyer it was totally out of table format/the fonts I'd used, etc. So I need to know if there's any way to transfer the table to the flyer, keeping all the elements intact.

Correct answer Steve Werner

File > Place and select the .xslx file. Show Import options to choose which sheet, choose whether to bring in with formatting or not, and so on.

Seems like I did all of the two steps, but this is my error: "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation"

I am importing a large Excel doc into InDesign CC 2017. 12.0.0.81 table. There are approximately 4,500 rows in the Excel doc. Import goes fine, but then InDesign crashes when I try to do much else other than link the pages. Earlier, I had the document completed and then went to export to a PDF (smallest size) and it crashes every time. I have trashed the preferences. Not sure what else to do. I have worked on similar documents in the past. Any help would be appreciated as this project is way overdue.
