    What are you using to create your web page, Dreamweaver or something similar? Most of the WSYWIG web builders have tools for connecting to a XML datasource. Once you've created your connection all you'll need to do is upload your new XML and the web page will change dynamically.

    Just as a note, the file needs to be an XML file, not a excel spreadsheet created from XML.

    You'd need something smarter than just plain HTML. You need to have a dynamic webpage. You could for example use JSP (Java Server Pages), which would use a Java API to update the website accordingly . I'm not sure if you can do it with PHP.
