在网站上显示带有图表的 Excel 电子表格

Question

Is there anyway to display Excel Spreadsheet with charts (Live, does not need to be editable) on Websites?

Currently I have some Excel reports with charts. I am building a website to display these spreadsheet data. The spreadsheet doesn't need to be editable. But I want it to be displayed right away, instead of a link downloading it locally every time and open it.

Is there anyway easy way I can do this?

Some methods that I have researched but would not work in my case:

1. Google Doc

2. Saving as html output in excel (I want it to be automatically. All the spreadsheet generation/ HTML code creation would be in linux)

3. Sharepoint

Thanks!

Answer 1

I would suggest to utilize Excel Services for that purpose.

Prerequisite: Excel Services service application has to be configured

Prepare excel data

Assume the following excel file

that contains the following items in the workbook:

• table (how to Create or delete an Excel table in a worksheet )
• chart

Important: Before uploading file into SharePoint library, go to File -> Browse View Options -> choose Items in the Workbook as demonstrated below. Then save file and upload it into SharePoint Documents library.

Once the excel file is uploaded into Documents library the chart could be rendered in browser using the following endpoint:

Url: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/Documents/sample.xlsx/Model/Charts('Chart1')
Method: GET

Results

Display chart on page via ScriptEditor /ContentEditor web part

Content: <img src="/_vti_bin/ExcelRest.aspx/Documents/sample.xlsx/Model/Charts(%27Chart1%27)" alt=""/>
