Excel File Attachment

I have attached an excel file but it does not show on the simulated phone. Is it supposed too? Also, can you just show a portion of the excel file? I have formula that I do not want to display.

I'd imagine that the phone simulator doesn't have ability to display excel files, could be wrong though. Surely the cells on spreadsheet can just be hidden? Just format them that way.

ALL the phones (iOS, Android) are horrible with Excel. They really only are designed to display simple sheets. Convert it to PDF, it will be much better in the long run.

Another question: Is there a good alternative to Excel for making functional calculators for Android?

Hi in Canton: The best calcuators are plain-jain HTML with some simple Javascript routines. I realize that Javascript may be intimidating for some but it's not tough. Google a few exmaples. It works well in iOS and Android because it's lightweight and can be stored locally in the phone for oflfine use.

Hi, I have an excel spreadsheet being displayed but they appear ZOOM OUT :( I need to tap twice in order to ZOOM IN, how can I make the excel spreadsheet cover 100% of the screen when it loads? Thanks!
