Pasting web data into excel at backend to download as a filled excel file

A

I have a web tool that creates some results using PHP & SQL backend. As of now the tables come in HTML format. The tables have to be downloaded and are pasted in the excel to create charts etc. What I want is that the tables should be pasted in the excel at the backend only, so that we download the finished/formatted excel.


This needs to be done at backend only. There are ways to fetch the web data in excel but we don't want that. It's a client interface where the client just downloads the excel file


Here is the flow:


Data in MySQL --> HTML Report based on some query --> Pasted in Excel --> Excel Sheet downloaded by end user using the web interface only


Can someone please shed some light on how to resolve this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks & Regards

Ashutosh
 
Hi, ashukumar27!


First of all welcome to Chandoo's website Excel forums. Thank you for your joining us and glad to have you here.


As a starting point I'd recommend you to read the three first green sticky topics at this forums main page. There you'll find general guidelines about how this site and community operates (introducing yourself, posting files, netiquette rules, and so on).


Among them you're prompted to perform searches within this site before posting, because maybe your question had been answered yet.


Feel free to play with different keywords so as to be led thru a wide variety of articles and posts, and if you don't find anything that solves your problem or guides you towards a solution, you'll always be welcome back here. Tell us what you've done, consider uploading a sample file as recommended, and somebody surely will read your post and help you.


And about your question...


I'm afraid I can't help you to solve your issue, just only to extract data from the web, get it stored in Excel. Give a look to these links:
