Excel compiler
This way neophytes and very poorly educated people run the little programs easily. The users would access them by the name, i.e., breakeven.exe. At that time I put some extremely complex little applications onto floppy disk. The little programs created were small, needed no installation. I could create very complex spreadsheets, compile them into a run executable application. The old version I had was BALER XE for Lotus/DOS. Honestly, I can't understand why someone hasn't made one. I've done the day so far googling, and my results have not been good. so I sure hope some of you can give me some pointers, links or something. I'm a consultant to small mom & pop type businesses and there is no way I can justify a pricey, sophisticated software.Īnyway, I couldn't think of a better place to inquire. That is a big indicator I can't afford it. Excel is so inexpensive now that shouldn't be a problem, but the user still has to learn Excel and I'm thinking if it requires Excel it's basically just a better protection mechanism for the spreadsheet.įurther there appears to be a program call Excel translator, but the site has no pricing of the product. I found a program that compiles Excel, but the user would be required to have excel. This way they could pop in the CD and run the program. I'm thinking of a standalone executable type program I can build, put on a CD and send to them. Looking around I did find an Excel to Java thing, which would be fine for use on a webpage. I can't for the life of me figure out what I've done in many cases. The large number of pages, linking and routing users through them is a difficult learning process for users.Īlso, sad to say, after several years of not working with a particular customers spreadsheets I am at a memory loss. but the spreadsheet might be 10 or 12 pages. I do consulting work and spreadsheets are fine for techie types, but I constantly have clients that want to input and report data with a very simple page. All the formulas and the spreadsheet were concealed within the code. It compiled spreadsheets into small run executable programs. I had one called Baler XE that worked magic with Lotus spreadsheets for DOS. I'm looking for an excel spreadsheet compiler software.
