Why don't you try reading the article and find out?

As to converting HTML to Excel there is no commonality of data between them, so you will need to write the code to extract the data from the HTML and reformat it into Excel cell values.

You can use ADO.Net to interact with Excel files even if Excel is not installed. If I remember correctly, if you use .Net Framework 4.0, and use Microsoft.Interop.Excel then you can elect to embed the interop assembly in the installation.

Hope this helps
