But as I said, MrExcelHTML Maker isnt compatible with Excel 2016 as I read it.

Actually, you never mentioned what your specific problem was, but as far as I know it is compatible with Excel 2016, and there are three other methods mentioned in that thread. At least one - Forum Tools - I know for certain to be compatible.

I actually did mention it in my first post.

So far I got MrExcelHTML Maker in my add-ins in Excel. But how do I activate it? How does it work? The doc isnt clear on how to make it work.


-------- EDIT ----------

I got it to work. But when I right click to generate HTML, excel isnt responsive. the cursor turns into a circle like its busy but it never stops being busy.

Nowhere in your first post did you mention HTML maker.

In any event, I don't use it I'm afraid so I can't be specific but you enable it the same way you do any add-in. If you recently downloaded it, you will probably need to unblock the .xlam file in Windows Explorer first thanks to a recent security update for Office. To do that, locate the file in Explorer, right click on it, choose Properties and then select the Unblock this file option.

So I went ahead and used it but I get a message tat says that i exceeded 100 rows and therefore MrExcelHtml menu cant work. I got an excel file with more than 1,000 rows. Is there any way to generate this amount of rows? Its important.

I know - and nowhere there does it say what tool you are using, or even that you are using a tool rather than simply trying to attach a file, which you can't do here.

The tool is for posting a screenshot of your data that can be copied and pasted into Excel for testing. It does not attach a copy of your file. Therefore we do not want thousands of rows of data pasted. Frankly even 100 is too many - the people answering the question merely want a sample that they can test on, which would typically be say 20-30 rows at most.

The tools state that theyre not compatible with my version of Excel 2016.

Then this has to change since its much more covenient to attach a file to see what the user is doing wrong.

Rory will get right on that -- stand by.
