I don't recall if the OP explained why he wanted to import the report into a spreadsheet. I am guessing that he wanted to do some post processing that is easier in a spreadsheet. I am not surprised that a direct copy and paste also works. For some html things (not GnuCash reports) that I have tried to paste into a spreadsheet the resulting cell structure was so bad that it was impossible to clean up to get a decent print anyway.
