| 
 |  
| 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. |  |
