Excel Spreadsheet converted to web page

[Charles L. Cotton]

I have the schedule for the 2009 TexasCHLforum Day at PSC on an Excel spreadsheet. When I try to save it as 1) a web page; or 2) a "single file web page" (.mht extension) and try to put it on the website, it doesn't render as a table, much less a color coded table.

If I can't figure out how to do it, I'll have to create the table and I'd rather not have to do that. I scanned it, but it looks pretty bad.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Chas.

I can turn it into a PDF in one minute.

Converting Excel to HTML is doable, but not always easy.

I think one can open the spreadsheet in open office and oy can be saved as a .html file. Charles if you email the file to me I can try it. and se if it works

What version of office are you using? Saving the excel file as html should retain some of the styling. I have used it in the past to convert tables to html, with colors and custom fonts.

What does it look like when you publish it? what does it look like if you save it and open it in a browser?

Not sure what software your using to make web pages but have you tried "Copy and Paste" into the GUI of an HTML editor. You could also try to paste into a word document and save it as html file.

I'm using Office 2003 and it appears differently depending upon whether I save it as a "web page" (htm) or "single file web page" (mht ?) I tried a block copy into Komoto Edit and it does appear as a table, but the formatting is shot and the color was gone. It would have been faster to recreate it.

I just scanned it to a pdf file and put it on the website. People can set the size to their liking and it works. I was just surprised the conversion would not have been smoother.

Thanks guys,
Chas.

You could save it as XML and then use an XSLT to transform it to an HTML view. The next time you update the data, if the format hasn't changed, it will update the data in the page you view without further changes. The XSLT basically defines the format to display it in.

Saving as a webpage in Excell doesn't always work right, as Micro$oft does weird things in the HTML. What I do is convert it to PDF, but I use an easy method, a "PDF Printer". Basically, you "print" in Excel, and it will save as PDF. Works very nicely.

Download PDFCreator 0.9.8

Opensource is awesome!

I use this as well

Actually opening it with Openoffice and then exporting as HTML or PDF directly actually does a pretty good job. While I do have Microsoft Office I haven't found much reason to use it, and it does a good job of handling different style files.

I'm late to the party, but copy to Word, you should be able to create HTML from Word easily.
