I have what I consider a bit of a tricky question. I am currently working on quite a large spread sheet (266 rows aith 70 coloumns and its only going to get bigger) that is a database of sorts and I want to remove it from Excel and put it on to an intranet page. I am currently writing it in a combination of HTML and Javascript for functionality, but it is becoming very hard to ensure that the data is in the right place. I am wondering if there is a possible way of being able to save the Excel spreadsheet into a certain format (like CSV or XML) and then write a program (for on a HTML page) that would display all of the infomation in a table automatically? is this even possible?

Unfortunatly i do not have access to a server to be able help with this, it all needs to be able to be coded in the page itself.

Thankyou for all your input Guys and Gals

    Based on your comment, a normalized database for this type of thing would look like this:

    table `workers`
- id
- name
- ...

table `trainings`
- id
- title
- description
- ...

table `workers_in_training`
- worker_id
- training_id

    This allows you to create a logical matrix as well without the need to change the schema (keep adding columns) for each new training/worker. Of course, this realistically requires a database server of some sort and knowledge in a server side programming language (PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, anything). If you don’t have that, an Access database/app may be an acceptable compromise. Doing it all in Javascript is certainly interesting, but is an idea you should abandon as early as possible.
