@Anton Sirotin - There was a similar question about 8 months ago in this post.

I have never been able to carry over Excel cell colours to Miro Sticky Notes on a copy-paste - I just tried again from both the Excel desktop and web app - no go. However, this still works for me when pasting from Google Sheets to Miro.

I tested this in both Miro via Chrome, Edge v91, and the Miro desktop app.

I have attached my test xlsx file.

Hi Robert, yeah i read that post but it wasn’t relevant to Excel.

For weeks, I was pasting from Excel and getting colored stickies (about 4 months ago) so I know for a fact this used to be possible. This is no longer the case and wanted to check if people know what happened, since it appears Miro doesn't have a user support channel directly with their company.

Interested to see if anyone else knows what happened.

@Anton Sirotin - If you have a paid account, you can contact Miro via:

The support form is there too:

oh cool! I have a free account and didn’t find that page. I appreciate your help, man!

@Anton Sirotin - You’re welcome! If you reach out to them, if would be helpful if you were to pop back in and let us know what they told you - even a quick copy-and-paste would be great.

will do!

Any progress on this? Works from google sheets but not excel.

Hello eveyone. I know this question is old but I just signed up for Miro and I was disappointed that the color from excel doesn’t propagate from excel to Miro so I investigated and tested some things since it works with Google Spreadsheets.

I realized that if you convert your cells to a table in Excel the colors propagate. So just highlight your cells you want to have a sticky notes and then go to Insert and the Table in Excel and copy the cells to Miro. It’s an extra step but it’s quiet easy. 

Hope this helps.

Hi @marblapas,

Thanks so much for sharing that workaround! It's great to hear that converting cells to a table in Excel allows the colors to propagate when pasting into Miro. This tip will surely be helpful to others facing the same issue.
