Hi Guys,

Is there any way to extract data(values from certain cells in a certain sheet) from an excel document? Thereafter using the extracted values, generate a bar graph to display on a webpage using PHP?

Or any other ways of achieving what i mentioned above? Preferably in PHP
since its a server-sode scripting language and data will be displayed on a users web browser without having to install any additional web components.

ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!

Thanks

You could do it in XML with XSLT.
