Is there a way to get Excel content as HTML/Text like Word add-in?
I have used a sample Excel code to get excel using an add-in:
async function run() {
try {
await Excel.run(async context => {
// const range = context.workbook.getSelectedRange();
const sheetName = 'Sheet1';
const rangeAddress = 'F1:F20';
const worksheet = context.workbook.worksheets.getItem(sheetName);
const range = worksheet.getRange(rangeAddress);
range.load('text');
await context.sync();
console.log(range.text);
});
} catch(error) {
OfficeHelpers.UI.notify(error);
OfficeHelpers.Utilities.log(error);
};
}
Here it gives you an array of data for F column in excel.
Isn't there a way to get the whole worksheet as HTML or Text like what we do in Word add-in:
// Run a batch operation against the Word object model.
Word.run(function (context) {
// Create a proxy object for the document body.
var body = context.document.body;
// Queue a commmand to get the HTML contents of the body.
var bodyHTML = body.getHtml();
// Synchronize the document state by executing the queued commands,
// and return a promise to indicate task completion.
return context.sync().then(function () {
console.log("Body HTML contents: " + bodyHTML.value);
});
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log("Error: " + JSON.stringify(error));
if (error instanceof OfficeExtension.Error) {
console.log("Debug info: " + JSON.stringify(error.debugInfo));
}
});
I appreciate if someone could shed some light on this issue.

How do you envision this should look? Word's content is stored left-to-right, top-to-bottom which is pretty straight-forward for getting the content in these format. Excel's content is essentially a matrix, which is best reflected as an array. The array can be processed to any format you prefer...?

@CindyMeister, well at least something like Google sheets to export it as a PDF. And the structure can be pretty much like it is shown inExcel, but without borders.
