Convert XLTM to HTML

Understanding xltm and html file formats

XLTM is a Microsoft Excel Macro-Enabled Template file. It is used to create new Excel workbooks with pre-defined formatting, formulas, and macros. The macro-enabled aspect means it can contain VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) code, making it suitable for automating repetitive tasks in Excel.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard file format for web pages. HTML files are used to display content in web browsers and can include text, images, tables, and links. Converting an XLTM file to HTML allows you to share spreadsheet data in a format that is easily viewable in any web browser.

Why convert xltm to html?

Converting an XLTM file to HTML is useful when you want to publish spreadsheet data online or share it with users who do not have Microsoft Excel. HTML files are universally accessible and can be embedded into websites or shared via email without compatibility concerns.

How to convert xltm to html

The most reliable way to convert an XLTM file to HTML is by using Microsoft Excel. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your XLTM file in Microsoft Excel.
2. Go to File → Open and select your XLTM template.
3. Once the file is open, click File → Save As.
4. Choose the location where you want to save the file.
5. In the Save as type dropdown menu, select Web Page (*.htm; *.html).
6. Click Save.

This will create an HTML file that preserves the layout and data of your Excel template. Note that macros and VBA code will not be transferred to the HTML file, as HTML does not support Excel macros.
