I am pretty new to HTML, so I'd appreciate any answers to be well explained. I created an HTML table on my company's website and am trying to populate one of the columns with numbers from specific cells in an Excel worksheet. For example, I would like the bottom right value in the HTML table to display the number in cell C3 from 'Sheet1' in the Excel document. I know how to create an HTML table already, so I really only need the script that would be placed in betweed the tags. Does anybody know how to do this? / Converting Spreadsheet Data To CSV Format CSV stands for Comma Separated Values, sometimes also called Comma Delimited.
This video is to teach the user how to get data from the internet, such as data from a table posted on a web page, into Microsoft Excel for Mac. In Excel 2016 for Mac: Click Data > What-if Analysis > Data Table. In Excel for Mac 2011: On the Data tab, under Analysis, click What-If, and then click Data Table.
A CSV file is a specially formatted plain text file which stores spreadsheet or basic database-style information in a very simple format, with one record on each line, and each field within that record separated by a comma. It's important that the individual 'records' within a CSV file NOT contain commas, as this may break the simple formatting when using the file in another application. CSV files are often used as a simple way to transfer a large volume of spreadsheet or database information between programs, without worring about special file types. For example, transferring a home-made address book from Excel into a database program such as Filemaker Pro could be done by exporting the file as a CSV from Excel, then importing that CSV into Filemaker. Creating a CSV file from spreadsheet data is very simple to do using Microsoft Excel. Open your spreadsheet document and go to the File pull-down menu (or the Windows/Office round button menu in Office 2007), and choose Save As.
Change the 'Save as type' or 'Format' field to read: 'CSV (Comma delimited)'. Enter a name for the document and click Save. To check the validity of your CSV file, open the new file from a plain-text reading program such as Notepad or TextEdit. Check to make sure there are no extra commas, other than between fields. Depending on what program you're going to use the CSV file with, you may need to also remove any extra quotation marks or other formatting which Excel may have inserted.

Many companies depend on up-to-date data to make informed decisions regarding their businesses. Millions of small businesses around the world use Microsoft Excel to input, analyze and evaluate business data of all kinds. Consequently, company staff members often spend a considerable amount of time inputting and formatting data for use in Excel spreadsheets. If your company has investments or accounts and uses the Internet to track data for them, your employees probably copy and paste data from the Web into Excel workbooks to perform calculations or prepare reports. However, using the Excel macro recorder, you can program your spreadsheets to download data and insert it into cells automatically. Online Data Source Required Before you can download and use real-time data in Excel, you must have an online data source capable of exporting or outputting records in XML format.
Most commercial websites that display stock quote listings, currency exchange rates or other financial data usually offer a link for exporting or viewing real-time data in XML format. Many sites will have an “Export to Excel” option as well, but this option will provide you with static data only current when you view it on the site. Click the “Export to XML” or “View in XML Format” link on the page to open a new browser tab or window.
When the new window appears, use the “Ctrl-C” keys to copy the URL address to the Windows clipboard. Excel Web Queries Once you have the URL that contains the XML format for the data you want to retrieve and view in Excel, you can use the Web Queries function to download it and format it as a nice, clean table inside your spreadsheet.
If you click the “Data” tab on the Excel ribbon bar, then click “From Web,” a new window appears where you can paste the URL address from the financial data website. Click the “Import” button in the New Web Query window and a table containing the current live data from the site appears in your spreadsheet in the cell range you select. You can then use your mouse to resize the table or even move it to another part of your worksheet. Additionally, you can change the font, font size or font and table color by right-clicking the table, then selecting “Format Table” or “Format Cells” on the pop-up list. Recording the Download Macro Excel Web Queries makes entering XML data feeds from websites relatively easy. Still, you must copy and paste the XML URL address every time you want to create a new table in your spreadsheet – unless you create a macro to do it automatically.
Before you can create a macro to download real-time data from the website, you must first enable the “Developer” tab in Excel. To do this, click “File,” then “Options.” In the Excel Options window, you will see a link labeled “Customize Ribbon.” Click that link and enable the “Developer” option in Main Tabs. Clicking the “OK” button returns you to the main Excel window and displays the Developer tab on the ribbon. Click the “Record Macro” button on the Developer tab before creating the new Web query in Excel and assign it a hot key.
After you import the data into the new table, click “Stop Recording” on the Developer tab. From that point on, if you press the assigned hot keys for the new macro, Excel downloads the real-time data and creates the table automatically. Keeping the Data Fresh An Excel Web Query allows you to retrieve the latest real-time data and insert it in your spreadsheet.
However, Web Query does not refresh data in the table automatically. To refresh the data, you must click the “Refresh All” icon in the Connections sections of the Data tab.
Of course, you can record a macro for that as well, so that you can simply use the hot key combination to refresh the real-time data any time you wish. If you click the button control icon in the “Insert” section of the Developer tab, you can create control buttons you can place on your spreadsheet and use to run the macros quickly with a single mouse click. Click one button to retrieve the data and create the table in your spreadsheet, then later click the other to refresh the displayed data.
