View your excel files without any additional software

Suppose you have an census file and you would like to view it graphically but you do not have Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers nor Open Office with you. Luckily, you have Python and pyexcel. Here is what you can do:

$ pyexcel view --in-browser https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-handsontable/raw/master/demo/census.xls

Suppose you have an google stock price and you wanted to view but also sort them. Here is what you can do:

$ pyexcel view --in-browser --output-file-type sortable.html --sheet-index 0 https://github.com/pyexcel/excel2table/raw/master/sample/goog.ods
