HTML Table Generator using Microsoft Excel

Because I cannot find a better solution to generate cleaner HTML Table markups to my tabular data, so I created my own using Microsoft Excel.

The logic to create this tool

Of course I can just save my tabular data directly by Excel’s “Save as HTML” function. However, the generated HTML contains too many markups I cannot control.

How to use this tool

This tool is designed as maximum dimension at 40 rows by 26 columns. But it can be easily customized by adjusting TAGS/Shuffle/CAT sheets in the same workbook.

Step 1: Fill in all my tabular data in “Data” sheet.

Step 2: (Optional) Customize the styles of TH and TD elements.

Step 3: Select at ROWS sheet at a Column up to number of rows of Data, where the Column is at the number of column of Data.

Step 4: Copy, then paste to destination text file, enclosing with “<TABLE> </TABLE>” tag pair. Done!

Sample output markups

<tr><th style="background-color:green;padding-top:1em;padding-bottom:1em;color:white;"></th><th style="background-color:green;padding-top:1em;padding-bottom:1em;color:white;">OTV</th><th style="background-color:green;padding-top:1em;padding-bottom:1em;color:white;">FabricPath</tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:lightgreen;padding:.5em;padding-left:2em;padding-right:2em;">Encapsulation</td><td style="background-color:lightgreen;padding:.5em;padding-left:2em;padding-right:2em;">Over standard IP packets</td><td style="background-color:lightgreen;padding:.5em;padding-left:2em;padding-right:2em;">Over special frames</tr>
