For example, you can insert a table from Google Sheets into your email. However, many Gmail users still don’t know how to add tables to their emails. In fact, it can be done quite quickly and easily.

What do you need to add a table to your Gmail message

Modern users are constantly communicating on the Internet. This can be messages in various forums, publishers, videos on social networks, or pictures on Instagram, for example. Communication between people from different regions of the world has never been easier. You just turn on your device, whether it’s a PC, laptop, or smartphone, and all your friends around the world are just a few clicks away.

In addition, the advent of the Internet has made communication between different employees within many companies much easier. In today’s business world, more and more companies are resorting to outsourcing techniques. This means that a significant part of people who work on different projects can be in another city or even another country. With the help of the Internet, it’s possible to build operational communication between different employees and departments.

If in informal communication people prefer to use various messengers and social networks, in the business world emails are more popular. They can be both formal and informal.

This is quite a convenient way to pass all the information to another person in a structured way. Emails can hold a lot of information, attach various files, and much more. It’s the most popular format for business communication.

However, when it comes to structured information, especially when working with numbers, many users wonder how they can embed a table, for example? Is it possible to do this in one of the most popular email services, Gmail?

Is it possible to add a table to an email using the Gmail service

Gmail has no official capability to add tables to your emails. You can’t create a table using built-in site tools. However, you have an opportunity to do a little trick and make a table in your e-mail using Google Sheets.

Since there’s no way to add or create a table in Gmail on the email editing screen, there’s only one way to go. You can create it in Google Sheets and then copy it to add it to your Gmail email. It will be enough just to create such a table as you need and copy it. Gmail will also copy the formatting and you won’t have to edit anything else. The table should look the same in Sheets and in your Gmail emails.

You can use the same exact methods to add tables from programs like Microsoft Excel or Google Docs or similar. All of them should be supported by Gmail service and available for adding tables from them.

How to make Gmail better, more convenient, and faster

Gmail is by far the most popular email app for Android, and the basics are probably obvious to most people. The app also has handy tricks with which you can, for example, clear your mailbox or change the design.

Set the dark mode

Gmail is a beautifully designed email app, but it’s pretty powerful. If you’re still sending emails in the evening, it’s best to turn on dark mode. This feature ensures that, as you might expect from the name, Gmail goes dark. White surfaces become dark, and vice versa.

Fast Switching

In Gmail, you can switch profiles in one go thanks to a handy swipe. You do this by swiping on your profile icon in the upper right corner. Now you should switch to another email address. Of course, you can also switch to the “old-fashioned” way by swiping your profile icon and then swiping another account.

Using swiping gestures

On the subject of swiping, Gmail has customizable swipe gestures. This allows you to choose what happens when you swipe left or right from your inbox. This way you can, for example, mark emails as spam, archive a message or move it to other folders.
