Embed Excel .xls into HTML?

[risk32]

As far as I know, this has been tried MANY times without success. Or, at least without the Web Components loaded on a server. But, I'll go ahead and ask just in case someone can point me in the right direction.

I don't need anything fancy or a MS Excel look-alike per se. All I need to be able to do is load a webpage and have a spreadsheet viewing when it loads. Nothing more, nothing less. I've looked at embedding and even object tags to see if that will work, but I haven't been able to find anything pointing directly to Excel. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks,
Adam

so you just want to display the data of an excel-spreadsheet in a table, or does the table should have editing capabilities etc.? ... this requirements will be essential for suggesting any solution.

kind regards

If all you need is to show the data, and not have any interaction, I'm fairly certain you can do something like File > Save as Web Page..., or something similar, from within excel and it will create the HTML for you. Of course, if the data changes very often, this can get tedious really fast, and you would need to come with some kind of automated/programmed solution.
