To save an excel sheet as a html table is very easy. Just select the needed area, then go to Save as and check the selection and choose html as output format. It works fine. It even looks like it did in Excel. But what if you don’t want all this junk, you want only the plain html table (e.g. for pasting into WP). When I saved my permission levels to html, I used this javascript code. First open the html page which Excel has created in Chrome, open the Dev Tools console, load the latest jQuery into the page, and remove all unnecessary attributes and styling, remove the comments, after that you can just copy the outerHTML of the table and paste into a text editor:

Well, if you need remove links to user profiles, you can iterate all td-elements with class ms-vb-user using jQuery each function and remove a elements. Here is a little script:

$(document).ready(function() {
	$(".ms-vb-user a").each(function() { 
	   var text = $(this).text(); 
	   var span = document.createElement("span"); 
	   var user = document.createTextNode(text); 
	   span.appendChild(user); 
	   var parent = $(this).parent()\[0\]; 
	   parent.removeChild(this); 
	   parent.appendChild(span); 
	});
});
```EDIT 2012-02-05 A much more better way to do it is [to use replaceWith in jQuery](http://stackoverflow.com/a/2409163/632117 "See a similar question and an answer on StackOverflow"):

$(".ms-vb-user a").each(function() { $(this).replaceWith(this.childNodes); });
