- Saving the file as a webpage is the easiest method you may try.
- In most cases, you would need a code editor or Notepad to view the HTML for the converted table.
Method 1: Save as Webpage
Excel lets you save your documents in different formats. One of them is an HTML webpage. You can use this feature to convert an Excel sheet to an HTML document. However, that adds a lot of extra code, which might be unnecessary if you try to convert a simple table. You can remove those extra lines if you are familiar with HTML coding.
Here are the steps to convert Excel to HTML using save as webpage:
Step 1: Launch the Excel sheet that you want to convert.
Step 2: Click the File option at the top and choose Save As. Select the folder where you want to save the generated HTML file.
Step 3: The Save As dialog box will open. Click on the Save as type drop-down box > choose Web page.
Step 4: If you have multiple worksheets, choose Entire Workbook next to the Save option. If it’s a simple table, select Selection > click on Save.
Step 5: Another pop-up window will open. Click on Publish.
The file will be saved as an HTML page. To view its code, follow the instructions given below.

Step 2: Open any HTML editor and paste the copied cells into the box on the left side.
Immediately when you paste it, the editor will generate your HTML code for the table. It will be a basic table. You can format it later as per your requirements.
