[TYPO3] Help needed on MS Excel sheet display

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi Harish,

>  Iam a fairly new guy to this wonderful environment of TYPO3, i am on TYPO3 since 3 months. i have quite long way to go :). My current requirement is...
>  We get good number of MS Excel sheets with some statistical data in it from our client to upload to there website frequently. We are maintaining there website in TYPO3... normal procedure i do is, put the excel sheet into the "Design" tab of either Homesite or VisualStudio, copy the HTML code it generates and paste it as content into TYPO3(HTML page content). i know this is not good practice but i know of nothing else... can someone please help me with a better idea so that my client himself can make changes on the data if needed without having to come back to me becoz he does not know HTML coding.

You may take a look at rlmp_officeimport or use phpexcel_library to 
write your own procedure.

You may also write your own extension that process the XLS files stored 
somewhere in /upload or /fileadmin and send them to the command-line 
program xlhtml to convert them to HTML. You then have to include the result.

Depending on your needs, you may create a content element that let the 
editor choose the Excel file to be displayed and use xlhtml to process 
it. Using a caching mechanism to avoid reprocessing the file each time 
the page is generated.

Regards
