Is there any way to copy data from an Excel file and paste it in the Grid Edit report?

BTW - I issued this question with example to Google Chrome team.
Wondering if they replay anything :)

  Just putting my +1 on this and bumping.
  
  I realize this is a browser issue and I realize this might not be in the category of main functionality, but I really need this right now. The simple act of being able to copy and paste into a grid edit report will allow us to effectively integrate reports from disparate systems easily and efficiently. Sadly, it is not easy because copy and paste is not consistent across browsers. Any workaround is appreciated, but something akin to the paste special in Firefox integrated directly into Quick Base so that it works regardless of browsers would be ideal.

    Often-times, copy/pasting from Excel introduces hidden/special characters into your Quick Base, so there's that. Aside from this, I know it doesn't solve for every scenario, but is this spreadsheet something that you could setup to be used as the basis of a Sync table or an Import? Even if you import too much data into a dummy table and then have a way - whether manual or automated with Pipelines - to pull just the data you want into your actual records might be a solution.
