Convert Excel to HTML using PowerShell

Conversion from Excel to HTML can be done by combination of Import-Excel from PowerShell module ImportExcel and ConvertTo-Html cmdlet. Lets use Excel file generated in previous post. Conversion is done by one-liner:

Import-Excel .\Services.xlsx | ConvertTo-Html

Output is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>HTML TABLE</title>
</head><body>
<table>
<colgroup><col/><col/><col/></colgroup>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Status</th><th>StartType</th></tr>
<tr><td>AarSvc_dc323</td><td>Running</td><td>Manual</td></tr>
<tr><td>AdobeARMservice</td><td>Running</td><td>Automatic</td></tr>
<tr><td>AESMService</td><td>Running</td><td>Automatic</td></tr>

<tr><td>AMD Crash Defender Service</td><td>Running</td><td>Automatic</td></tr>

<tr><td>AppHostSvc</td><td>Running</td><td>Automatic</td></tr>
<tr><td>AppIDSvc</td><td>Stopped</td><td>Manual</td></tr>
<tr><td>Appinfo</td><td>Running</td><td>Manual</td></tr>
</table>
</body></html>

If we want to save HTML directly into file, Out-File cmdlet is added:

Import-Excel .\Services.xlsx | ConvertTo-Html | Out-File Services.html -Encoding utf8
