VBA Macro Code – Convert Excel Table to HTML

This VBA code just loops thru all the rows & columns in the Excel table in the first sheet.

First Row Header: Instead of checking for font style, code in the Excel file attached below, converts the first row as header.

Table Width: Each column width in Excel is set to width of each column in HTML Table.

Sub Convert_Excel_Table_To_HTML()
    Dim htmlTable As String, iSh As Worksheet
    Dim iRow As Double, iCol As Double, iVal As String
    Dim iRowCount As Long, iColCount As Integer, iWidth(100) As Double
    iRow = 1
    iCol = 1
    
    'Get the number of rows and columns
    Set iSh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
    While iSh.Cells(iRow, 1).Value <> ""
        iRow = iRow + 1
    Wend
    While iSh.Cells(1, iCol).Value <> ""
        iWidth(iCol) = iSh.Columns(iCol).Width
        iCol = iCol + 1
    Wend
    iRowCount = iRow - 1
    iColCount = iCol - 1
    htmlTable = "<table border=1px>"
    
    For iRow = 1 To iRowCount
        'TR
        htmlTable = htmlTable & "<tr>"
        
        For iCol = 1 To iColCount
            'TD or TH Tags
            iVal = iSh.Cells(iRow, iCol).Value
            
            'bold text becomes table heading
            If iRow = 1 Then
                htmlTable = htmlTable & "<th width=" & iWidth(iCol) & ">" & iVal & "</th>"
            Else
                htmlTable = htmlTable & "<td>" & iVal & "</td>"
            End If
        Next iCol
        
        htmlTable = htmlTable & "</tr>"
    Next iRow
    
    htmlTable = htmlTable & "</table>"
    htmlTable = InputBox("Converted HTML Code", , htmlTable)
End Sub

If the data also has any data to be bold then consider changing the code accordingly.
