SPREADSHEET TO MATRIX
Paste spreadsheet cells into a LaTeX matrix
Examples checked with MathTexLab’s base and AMS math renderer · Display style
Copy a rectangular range from a spreadsheet, click its intended top-left matrix cell and paste. MathTexLab uses plain text delivered by that paste action; it does not connect to your spreadsheet account.
Prepare a rectangular selection
Tabs separate columns and line breaks separate rows. A two-row selection containing 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 produces a two-by-three matrix. Plain comma-separated text is not a supported CSV import. Paste ordinary values or mathematical cell expressions, not spreadsheet formulas that you expect the tool to calculate.
Choose the starting cell
The pasted block begins at the focused cell and may expand the visible dimensions. A block must fit within the 12-by-12 grid. Each cell allows at most 256 characters, and the complete equation must also fit the shared source limit. An invalid or oversized block is rejected without a partial paste.
\begin{bmatrix}1&2&3\\4&5&6\end{bmatrix}Check blanks and hidden cells
Blank matrix cells generate zero. Shrinking the visible dimensions hides backing cells rather than immediately erasing them; expanding reveals their values again. Use the visible removal controls when you intend to delete a row or column. Inspect the generated source after a structural change.
Recover and export
Undo restores previous grid changes during the current visit. If paste fails, choose an earlier starting cell or split the selection into smaller blocks. Check the live preview before copying LaTeX or exporting. The generator typesets your entries; it does not evaluate spreadsheet expressions, multiply matrices or solve a linear system.
