If you are a WordPress user, you would probably know how tough it is to implement a table on WordPress, particularly exporting a table from Excel to your post, will be probably the toughest job that you will encounter that day. I have tried to add a table using Excel, Word, Live Writer and even through my Open Office products, but no use WordPress table formatting can make you go crazy if you are doing it manually.
Problems with table on WordPress
Not enough support for Table Formatting.
The alignment of the table will differ when pasted on WordPress.
The table formatting is not allowed, you can have a single color table, but using tables with alternate colors on row, will take a lot of manual work to do.
Tables width and column cannot be resized on WordPress, unless you edit the HTML code of the post, which is again so unfriendly.

The above mentioned problems can be solved by using a plugin called WordPress Table Reloaded, This plugin is one amongst the few plugins that can really save you from lot of manual work.
