Embed an Excel Spreadsheet from a Workbook Within HTML

Harlequin007 · May 11, 2004

Hi guys

I'm using the following:

<EMBED SRC="../Excel_Data/ECO_Tracker_Summary.xls">

But guess what... It doesn't work. Do I need to reference the specific worksheet or maybe a named range also...?

It's being presented in static HTML.

Hi,

You can do this (opens excel in a IFRAME = you can edit it):

Code:

<HTML>

<HEAD>
  <TITLE>Excel Included</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
  Some text ... <BR><HR><BR>
  <CENTER>
    <IFRAME SRC="test.xls" HEIGHT="90%" WIDTH="90%"></IFRAME>
  </CENTER>
</BODY>

</HTML>

Hope this helps §;O)

Good Luck

Jakob

Thanks Jacob

I'll see if I can get that to work.

Worked a treat. I need to resize the excel chart or maybe the frame but I should have looked at using the IFRAME command sooner.

Why on earth will it not display in a HTML page but in a frame...?

Any ideas...?

Hi,

This will open the spreadsheet in a full page when you press the button:

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <TITLE>Excel Button Demo</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<H1>Button Activated Excel Spreadsheet</H1>

<BR><BR>
<BUTTON onClick="javascript : void(document.location.href='test.xls')">Try me!</BUTTON>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Good Luck §;O)
