VBScript code to convert Excel data to HTML format


This article explains the code to convert content of an excel file into html code. This can be useful for better representation of excel data in html format.

Code to convert Excel data to HTML format

''strWbk - Full path of the excel workbook
''strWsheetName - Name of the worksheet
'' strHTMLFile - Name of the html file with path
Public Function CreateHTMLFromExcel(strWbk,strWsheetName,strHTMLFile)
Set oExcel = Createobject("Excel.Application")
oExcel.visible = false
Set objExcelWB = oExcel.Workbooks.Open(strWbkPath)
Set objExcelWS = objExcelWB.Worksheets(strWsheetName)
'Getting the rows and column count
 strColumnCount = objExcelWS.UsedRange.Columns.Count
 strTotRows = objExcelWS.UsedRange.Rows.Count
strTable = "<table border=""""2"""">"
'Create html table based on content of the excel file
 For j=1 to strTotRows
  strTable = strTable & "<tr>"
  For i=1 to strColumnCount
    strData = Trim(objExcelWS.Cells(j,i))
    strTable= strTable & "<td>"& strData &"</td>"
  Next
  strTable =strTable & "</tr>"
 Next
 strTable = strTable & "</table>"
 set objFSO=Createobject("scripting.FileSystemObject")
 set objtxt = objFSO.createTextFile(strHTMLFile)
    objtxt.write(strTable)
'Closing the workbook
 objExcelWB.Close
 set objFSO =nothing
End Function

Ordinal Identifier in QTP

While learning the objects, QTP tries to identify objects based on the mandatory and assistive properties of the object. In case the above properties are insufficient to uniquely identify the object. QTP uses the ordinal identifier properties to uniquely identify the object together with the madatory and assistive properties.


There are three type of Ordinal Identifier in QTP which are assigned as numeric integer value for the object based on the order occurrence of object in the browser.


The three types of ordinal identifier are described below:
