Embed Google Doc Viewer in your own webpage to display any kind of documents including Excel files. It's very simple to use and free! Add a markup code like the following in your webpage:

HTML

<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=URL_TO_YOUR_EXCEL_FILE_HERE&embedded=true" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
