I work in copywriting and one of the columns in the lay outs we do require HTML code (for the products we upload to our webpage), but if I copy an entire column to an HTML converter it will obviously turn the table to HTML too. Is there a way or a webpage that can change ONLY the text within the cells without changing the formatting of the table? To paste it again into the excel spreadsheet for the lay out.

Example:

Imagine three hundres of these:
Tazón de Melamina de la marca Best Home de 15 cm con diseño navideño de Feliz Navidad Caligrafía. Ideal para decorar la mesa de tu hogar u obsequiar en todas tus fiestas navideñas.
Tazón de Melamina de la marca Best Home de 15 cm con diseño navideño de Feliz Navidad. Ideal para decorar la mesa de tu hogar u obsequiar en todas tus fiestas navideñas.
Tazón de Melamina de la marca Best Home de 15 cm con diseño navideño de muñeco de nieve. Ideal para decorar la mesa de tu hogar u obsequiar en todas tus fiestas navideñas.

To these:

<p>Taz&oacute;n de Melamina de la marca Best Home de 15 cm con dise&ntilde;o navide&ntilde;o de Feliz Navidad Caligraf&iacute;a. Ideal para decorar la mesa de tu hogar u obsequiar en todas tus fiestas navide&ntilde;as.</p>

WITHOUT having to change each one on an HTML converter.

I want to be able to copy the first table and get the EXACT second one. Keep the table. Only convert the text within. It is very time consuming to go one by one. I STILL want it in the excel spreadsheet to save it as CSV and upload to a website.

I'm attaching an example of how I'm requested to have a master lay out, with the text in one column in HTML format.

Hopefully someone can help me. It's such waste of time to work like this :C

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
If you put the original text in Column A (starting with Cell A1), then put this formula in Cell B1 and fill it down, this will do the trick. (I got the HTML codes for all of the Spanish characters from here Learn the HTML Codes for Spanish Language Characters .)
Excel Formula:
=CONCATENATE("<p>",SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"Á","&Aacute;"),"á","&aacute;"),"É","&Eacute;"),"é","&eacute;"),"Í","&Iacute;"),"í","&iacute;"),"Ñ","&Ntilde;"),"ñ","&ntilde;"),"Ó","&Oacute;"),"ó","&oacute;"),"Ú","&Uacute;"),"ú","&uacute;"),"Ü","&Uuml;"),"ü","&uuml;"),"«","&laquo;"),"»","&raquo;"),"¿","&iquest;"),"¡","&iexcl;"),"€","&euro;"),"</p>")

(And by the way, the third translation you had in the "Example" was incorrect, but I tested my "translator" at Tryit Editor v3.7 and found that it gave the correct result.)
