I tried to embed a Google spreadsheet in Medium without success. I could get the post the title but not the data. Knowing that I used the "publish" feature of Google spreadsheet.
If not possible, is there any other tables tool that can do that?

The current app name for the Google spreadsheet editor is Google Sheets.– Rubén - Volunteer Moderator - ♦Commented Jun 10, 2015 at 19:19

A published Google spreadsheet is an iframe. At this time, Medium does not allow iframes (source).
I think the best you can do to include a table is to
- Convert it into text (here's a handy tool for that).
- Post this text as a code block: see How to embed code snippets in Medium?
Naturally, this copy-pasting will create a static snapshot of your spreadsheet, unlike embedding which would allow changes to propagate.

The table gets broken for long rows unfortunately, thanks for the suggestion though.– AnasCommented Jun 10, 2015 at 19:39

Well, then I would embed a fragment of table to give users an idea of what's in there, and put a link to published sheet.– user79865Commented Jun 10, 2015 at 19:54
Medium now allows to embed a table via Airtable.
I would recommend you using Sheetsu Table creator. It’s a creator where you copy a shareable link from a spreadsheet, customize table and add your outcome link directly into your story on Medium. Works perfectly. Here is an example :)
I'd recommend you RowShare, an online interactive table that allows automatic update. It comes with an iframe code which you just need to copy to Medium. I wrote an article which explains about this. Please have a look: https://www.rowshare.com/blog/en/2017/10/10/How-to-Embed-Tables-in-Your-Website
A streamlit dataframe can be connected to google sheets and embedded into a medium blog. Have a look here: https://docs.streamlit.io/knowledge-base/tutorials/databases/public-gsheet and here for free hosting of your streamlit app: https://streamlit.io/cloud
