Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have created several large tables in
Excel and MATLAB. Since it is very time-consuming to manually
copy and paste these tables in LaTeX, I would like to include
them as figures in LaTeX. I would really appreciate it if
someone could help me with the following questions:    1. Is it
possible to include tables from MATLAB or Excel without having
to manually copy and paste the cells in LaTeX?    2. If I import
a table as a figure into LaTeX, how can I change the caption
from "Figure" to "Table" and have it listed in the "List of
Tables" instead of "List of Figures"?  Thank you very much in
advance for your time and help.  share|improve this question add

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast

table inside a table environment (\begin{table}\end{table}), it
will appear in the \listoftables. Nothing will stop you from
inserting a figure wit
