    This document discusses two methods for exporting Excel data to HTML format - generating HTML via VBA code or using Excel's built-in Publish to HTML feature. The VBA method allows full control over the HTML output but requires coding. The Publish feature is easier to use but has less formatting control. Both options were demonstrated with sample code provided to convert an Excel range to a basic HTML table.

    EXPORT EXCEL TO HTML – CONVERT


    TABLES TO HTML

    I received an interesting question today – on how to easily publish an Excel file to a


    web page. Although there are a ton of ways to approach this problem (ranging from
    Excel Services in SharePoint to Excel Interop or ClosedXML) let us say we want to
    restrict to using only Excel and VBA. Printing Excel to HTML is a very useful feature if
    you want to publish your data/Workbook online.

    The concept itself is very simple as HTML files are text files and therefore the problem
    is only to structure the data correctly in VBA before saving it to a HTML file.

    I wanted to explore today 2 options:

    Generating a HTML file via VBA


    Generating a HTML file via the Publish feature in Excel

    Both options are fairly useful ones – with the first one offering more flexibility and the
    second one being much easier to use.

    Generating HTML via VBA


    So lets start with the simple example of generating an Excel file from scratch just
    with VBA.

    We have the following Excel table (ranging from A1 to C3):

    Excel table

    The Code
    1 Sub Test()
    2 RangeToHtml Range("A1:C3"), "test.html"
    3 End Sub
    4
    5 Sub RangeToHtml(rng As Range, fileName As String)
    6 Dim resBeg As String
    7 resBeg = "<html><head></head><body><table>"
    8 resEnd = "</table></body></html>"
    9 For i = 1 To rng.Rows.Count
    10 '---Rows---
    11 resBeg = resBeg & "<tr>"
    12 For j = 1 To rng.Columns.Count
    13 '---Columns---
    14 resBeg = resBeg & "<td>"
    15 resBeg = resBeg & rng.Cells(i, j).Value
    16 resBeg = resBeg & "</td>"
    17 Next j
    18 resBeg = resBeg & "</tr>"
    19 Next i
    20 Call SaveStringToFile(resBeg & resEnd, fileName)
    21 End Sub
    22
    23 Sub SaveStringToFile(str As String, fileName As String)
    24 Open fileName For Output As #1
    25 Print #1, str

    26 Close #1
    27 End Sub

    Excel to HTML: The result


    Lets see the result (actual HTML posted to this page):

    Col1 Col2 Col3

    1 2 3

    4 5 6

    Nothing extraordinary – just a very simple table without any formatting.


    What the code does is traverse through the Excel Range replacing rows with the

    tag and columns (or rather cells) with the

    tag inserting the cell’s contents within. A very simple example.

    Excel Publish to HTML feaure


    The Publish to HTML feature is a neat capability that allows you to export your entire
    Workbook as a HTML web page through which you can easily navigate. You can easily
    Publish your Excel Workbook from VBA or directly from Excel.

    To publish the Excel file go to Save As and select Publish to configure the publish
    options:

    Publish to HTML Excel feature

    Alternatively you can use the VBA code below to achieve the same:

    1 With ActiveWorkbook.PublishObjects.Add(xlSourceRange, _
    2 "PublishToHtml.htm", ";Sheet1", "$A$1:$C$4", _
    3 xlHtmlStatic, "PublishToHtml", "")
    4 .Publish (True)
    5 End With

    Easy as that! The additional advantage is that the Publish to Excel feature will keep
    some of your formatting settings e.g. bold, italic fonts etc. Some, however, usually
    will be omitted e.g. borders.

    Conclusions
    Without resorting to external solutions there are least 2 easy options of generating
    html files from Excel. Personally I would prefer to have control over my HTML file and
    use VBA possibly adding my own css styles and formatting.
