Question

I would like to output a table to a webpage. The table is stored in an excel sheet (xls).

Is it possible to use xslt for this? The table is the cells are in this range:
A26 – P36 (16 columns and 11 rows)

If an exmaple file is need here is a link:
http://finans.opengate.dk/media/6704/2010-01-13.xls

Update: A daily file is uploaded. And I would like to automatically show a table from the latest xls-file using xslt. If some C# is needed to convert it from excel to something else (XML?) that is fine. It is done in the CMS Umbraco and that is why I hope to use XSLT since that is the way to show things in Umbraco, through xslt makroes.

UPDATE with answer (based on answers below): No, it is not possible to read xls-files using xslt. If needed then one has to save excel sheet in another format xml or html. Or one will need a real programming language to read the excel file.

Answer 1

XSLT is mostly used to convert XML from one dialect to another, not to convert xls files to html.

If you just want to do this manually, you can save your worksheet as HTML directly in excel.

It is not clear from your question if you want to do this programmatically, and if so using what programming language.
