Solved: adding active formulas to a web page
Hello Guys.

Sorry for a big ask first post..

I have my own website, a pretty basic webhosted automatically created site which I have over time played with and managed to manipulate the background (templates etc). So still relatively wet behind the ears (excuse the expression).

What I was hoping is possible, which may not be is to somehow have an active Excel formula on site which can be used by visitors as a useful Distance/Time Planning Tool. I understand excel but do not understand the world of web.. It needs refining of course but if I can attach it here is the formula. If I can’t then here isn’t the formula.. (it is for time trial road rallies)

The attachment on your post is in .xlsx format which is only readable by the latest version of Excel; more people would be able to view it if you saved it in legacy format (.xls).

Without seeing your formula, I can suggest that you look into javascript. This langauge can be embedded in HTML web pages and perform arithmetic or other calculations on values entered into web forms. You'll need the help of a programmer if this is something that you are unfamiliar with.

Alternatively have a look at some of the links that google turned up on "embed excel spreadsheet in web page":

Thanks Midders.

I have altered the format and am looking at the link you have posted up for me,
Cheers,
Mark.

Edit: All done works a treat and pretty much as simple as it can be to attach.

I would post the link but dont think it is permitted..
