Excel data to html table

Hi everyone;
How can I convert excel data to an HTML table?

Hi,
What did you try?

Have a look at the node-red-contrib-spreadsheet-in node.
Play with it in combination with something like node-red-contrib-jsontohtml.
And with some effort you will succeed .

I'm trying to convert excel data to html file ..but I get this error
er

here is my flow:

Is that a File In node you are reading it with? Have you used a debug node to see what it looks like coming out of the file? Is it JSON?

An xls file is a binary format. You cannot simply read the file data and send it to a JSON node. It just won't work.

To confirm what I am saying, use a debug node as @Colin suggests.

Did you try the suggestions by @edje11?

no not JSON

HI @edje11 ..the second link doesn't work

its in the flows library - same as the first link

You have to read the spreadsheet first, using a node that understand Excel, which is what the first link was for.

Not much point feeding it into a JSON node then!

Oh yeah, my bad ..I used node-red-contrib-spreadsheet-in package then "tableify" node and it's working..
Thank you @Colin & @Steve-Mcl & @edje11
