I've used xlhtml on linux to publish Excel staff rotas on a zope
intranet. 

Home page is http://chicago.sourceforge.net/xlhtml.

It will convert the xls to html. The only problems are with complex
layouts where cells are merged vertically. Sometimes there are lots of
blank cells appended to the end of each row. I haven't had time to work
out if this is xlhtml or crud in the xls file.
