Online dynamic spreadsheet updates?

[slam]

I have a spreadsheet saved locally that I am going to have to periodically upload in some fashion to a forum. Right now the plan was that I would just take screenshots of the relevant worksheets, upload them to something like photobucket or tinypic then link to those screenshots. Is there a better way to do this? In an ideal world, I’d update the spreadsheet, then the forum post would also be automatically updated. Is there something like that? Something a little more automated than screenshots/uploads/updating picture links?

Thanks

How about saving the sheet as a web page and uploading the html?

Hmm, that's pretty cool - I just saved as web page. It doesn't keep all the formatting, and it doesn't keep hidden columns hidden, but its worth investigating. How would I then get that on a forum?

I don't know. Probably depends on whether or not the forum handles html.

You may be able to open the sheet you just saved as a web page with notepad, copy the code to the clipboard and paste it into a message on this forum or any other forum that handles html.

I believe there is a "test" section/area on this forum if you care to give it a try.

I tried a small sample in the test area. Didn't seem to work.
