Excel document

Any solution to this... I thought adding an excel doc would allow all the functions but its just a viewer I have an excel doc where users select from a drop down and has some conditional formatting - is there a way of doing this with 2.0 ? im thinking its not possible - any ideas would be great

Neither iOS nor Android support any extended functionality of any of the MS Office document types. Excel, Word, PPT, etc. All devices will simply "show" the document to the best of their ability.

If they have the Quick Office Pro app are they able to edit?

@Mountain Man: Have no idea. I think Quick Office Pro does allow editing but have also heard that it depends a great deal on what type of device + document that's being displayed.

David, if someone sets up their Excel document so that it's downloaded from a URL for offline use are they still unable to edit it? I thought I had read that the ability to edit Excel in IOS was something that might roll out in early 2013.
