Paste data from Excel into `TableView` in Column

I was looking for a way to paste from Excel into TableView. I can do it with an InputField like this...

TableView Expression:

tableViewExpr = TableView[Dynamic[tab]]

InputField expression:

inputFieldExpr = InputField[
 Dynamic[string, {(string = #) &, (tab = 
      StringSplit[StringSplit[string, "\n"], "\t"] /. {} -> Nothing; 
     string = "") &}], String, FieldSize -> {10, 1}, 
 ContinuousAction -> True]

But if I try putting these in a column

Column[{
inputFieldExpr,
tableViewExpr
}]

the table won't update when I paste in new values. I tried a few ways to force the TableView expression to update but haven't been able to make it work.
