User level: Level 1 (4 points)Tables within Notes are embedded as images, not text. Because of this, you are unable to select a table and copy/paste it into another location, i.e. Excel. This is the case with iCloud on Windows, unsure on Mac.

As far as I know, tables in Notes are real tables on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and you can copy them from there into Excel or Numbers. On iCloud for Windows and iCloud.com you only get a limited view of Notes, so what you see there may be a rendering of the table rather than selectable text. As a workaround, open the note on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, tap into the table, choose the table's menu and use Copy as Text (or select the cells and copy), then paste into Excel. If you want it fixed on the Windows side, send feedback at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html . Which device are you using to look at the note?
