Hi, i have recently taken notice in google charts and would like to
use it in my work to create a single personal use web page that
displays charts created from data within this microsoft excel file
whenever i open the html file.

However, i have searched through the forums etc and have no luck in
finding out how to actually get the table data from an microsoft excel
file on the computer hard drive itself.
I have found ways to get table data from other websites or
initialising the values, hovever this is not suitable for me as i want
to create a simple html file that displays graphs created from a local
excel file.

So how do i link the code for the chart to reference the data inside
the file instead of a website etc?

Google Chart Tools does not have any support for using Excel file as a data source, no matter where the files are located on the network.  You can always upload/convert Excel files to Google Spreadsheets, or just use Google Spreadsheets in the first place...
