Extract as HTML

The Extract As HTML step is used to extract part of a spreadsheet document as HTML source code stored in a structured text variable, such as HTML type. The extracted code contains the extracted range (in a header tag), such as Sheet1:A1:H17, which means that the name of the sheet is contained in the code. The cells of the found range are placed in a table in the generated code. This step is mainly for obtaining an HTML version of part of a spreadsheet so that it may be returned for the robot and presented in a browser. It is also possible to use the step in a robot to create an HTML page with the extracted code using a Create Page step. We do not recommend using the Extract As HTML step to convert a spreadsheet into an HTML page to access its content in that way, because it might result in poor performance of the robot.
