in thread Parsing Excel Files while maintaining format

The thing is, I can only publish certain parts of the excel file. For example, publish rows 2a to 5a.

Then, another approach would be copy the file to another .xls and then remove from it all information that shouldn't be published. That way, you wouldn't have to deal with HTML, formatting and such, and your users would get an xls file identical to the original, just "censored".

    Thats actually a good idea.

    I'll have to ask for permission first, not sure if they will let users dl .xls files i created from their source vs. viewing content from web where theres in exchange we display a small ad of theirs. But I do see this way as much more convenient and probably the best solution.
