There's a variety of possible reasons why data updates/insertions might
not work. See at least [1] for details.

click into the upper-left corner of the table, so that the whole table
is marked. Choose "Copy" from the context menu (Edit|Copy from the main
menu does not work, this is a know bug), go to an arbitrary Calc
document, and Edit|Paste the data. Or simply drag'n'drop the whole table
into a Calc document.

No, sorry.
