Convert Excel to HTML

Jul 15 2020 2:30 AM
I have a requirement to preview excel files in browser. I am currently trying to convert excel file to html using the OpenXML SDK and OpenXml Power tool. Using the SmlDataRetriever I could retrieve the XElement data from the excel sheet but I am unable to proceed further. Please find below the format which I receive from SmlDataRetriever
  1. <Data>  
  2. <DataProps>  
  3. <sheetFormatPr defaultColWidth="9.25" defaultRowHeight="15" dyDescent="0.25" />  
  4. </DataProps>  
  5. <Row RowNumber="1">  
  6. <Cell Ref="A1" ColumnId="A" ColumnNumber="0" Type="s">  
  7. <CellProps />  
  8. <Value>Make </Value>  
  9. <DisplayValue>Make </DisplayValue>  
  10. </Cell>  
  11. <Cell Ref="B1" ColumnId="B" ColumnNumber="1" Type="s">

  94. <DisplayValue>$3,800</DisplayValue>

  96. </Row>  
  97. </Data>  
Is there any possible ways to convert this into a valid HTML so that it can be previewed. Is there any other methods in which this can be achieved. I cannot use the paid libraries for this work. I could not find any examples in the XSLT transformation of excel XML to HTML. Any help in this area is appreciated. TIA
