Excel

[#1]

Hi
I have some data I want to publish on a website that is n Excel. It's quite big and I would like users to be able to filter it.
If you publish it from Excel there seems to be a couple of drawbacks.

• the page displays with a white background and is quite small.


• thepage only opens propoerly in IE.

Is there a way round this that is easy to implement do you know?

there used to be a Microsoft Wizard to produce a section of a web page, used to use it about 5 years ago dont know if it still exists. might be worth a hunt round the MS site for it.
Prodused a page that is independant of browser.

Just a suggestion, as I do not know how "complicated" the Excel sheet is....
Would it not be possible to break it down into say 4 pages, and then re-produce it as a document type file, that could be accessed/presented as a web page, using notepad or similar?
Your viewers would then be able to select the page(s) they needed, and "filter" the information required, using copy and paste?

Provide a .csv download - like my bank does?

or indeed as home phone does of the calls made via PN (now that it is working again?)

Is it an absolute necessity that it is published in Excel? One route you may want to go down is using XML and using XSLT for styling/manipulation purposes.
