Using VBA Code for Excel That Can Automate the Conversion Process to HTML

If you have knowledge and skills in programming Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which is a programming language used to create macros or small programs that can execute specific tasks in Excel, you can use VBA code for Excel which can automate the conversion process to HTML with certain criteria that you want to define yourself. VBA is a very powerful and flexible tool that can help you customize and enhance Excel’s functionality and capabilities according to your needs and preferences.

One example of VBA code for Excel that can convert spreadsheets to HTML is as follows:

Sub ExportToHTML()

Dim wb As Workbook 'Variabel untuk workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet 
Dim rng As Range  
Dim htmlFile As String  
Dim fso As Object  
Dim ts As Object  
Dim htmlCode As String 
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook

For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
    htmlFile = ws.Name & ".html"
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile(htmlFile, True)
    Set rng = ws.UsedRange
    htmlCode = "<html><head><style>table, th, td {border: 1px solid black;}</style></head><body>"
    htmlCode = htmlCode & "<table>"
    htmlCode = htmlCode & rng.CopyFromRecordset
    htmlCode = htmlCode & "</table>"
    htmlCode = htmlCode & "</body></html>"
    ts.Write htmlCode
    ts.Close
    Set ts = Nothing
    Set fso = Nothing
Next ws

Set wb = Nothing
Set ws = Nothing
Set rng = Nothing

End Sub

This VBA code can convert Excel spreadsheet to HTML with the following steps:

  1. Open the Excel spreadsheet that you want to convert to HTML in Excel.
  2. Press the “Alt + F11” keys on your keyboard to open the “Visual Basic Editor” window.
  3. In the “Visual Basic Editor” window, click the “Insert” menu, then select “Module”. This will create a new module under “Modules” in the left pane.
  4. Copy and paste the above VBA code into the code window of a new module.
  5. Press the “F5” key on your keyboard to run the VBA code, or click the “Run” menu, and then select “Run Sub/UserForm”.

After that, you will have an HTML file for each worksheet in your Excel spreadsheet, with the same name as the worksheet name and extension.html. This HTML file will be saved in the same location as your Excel spreadsheet. This HTML file can be opened with any web browser, or pasted into your website or blog by using the appropriate HTML code. You can also edit this HTML file with any text editor if you want to make changes to the data or its appearance.

Some of the advantages of this method are:

  • You can convert Excel to HTML more advanced and flexible, by specifying certain criteria you want to use for the conversion process, such as size, color, font, layout, or style of a table or chart, by using VBA code.
  • You can automate the conversion process to HTML, so you don’t have to perform repetitive manual steps every time you want to convert an Excel spreadsheet to HTML.
  • You can preserve your Excel formulas and comments when converting to HTML, by using the CopyFromRecordset method of the Recordset object.

However, there are some limitations and disadvantages of this method as well, namely:

  • You must have knowledge and skills in VBA programming to be able to create and run VBA code to convert Excel to HTML. It may take additional time and effort for you to learn and master this programming language.
  • You should be careful when writing and running VBA code, because errors or bugs in the VBA code may cause problems or damage to your Excel spreadsheet or your computer. You should always back up your Excel spreadsheet before running the VBA code, and check the conversion results carefully to make sure there are no errors or data loss.
