Add a table to a Gmail message

Sometimes it is useful to be able to add a table to an email. Although Gmail does not have an in-built function to insert a table, there are other ways to do so. The quickest and easiest way is to create your table in Google Sheets, and then simply copy and paste it into your Gmail message.

Here’s an example:

Step 1: Create an email and write your message as per normal.

Step 2: Open a new Google Sheet (in a separate tab or window).

Step 3: Create your table in the Google Sheet. Format it as you like.

Step 4: Copy all the cells in the table.

Step 5: Return to Gmail and paste the cells into your email message.

As you can see, all the cells and table formatting are maintained. You can add multiple tables using this method.

Note: If you want to include a very large or complex table, it might be better to provide a link to the Google Sheet in the email instead. But for simple and small tables, this method works well!
